Bootstrap 3.0.0 modal events not firing

Question

I can't seem to get modal events working at all using Bootstrap 3. I want to perform an action when my modal closes, but nothing's happening.

Here's my stripped back HTML:

<button type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#imageUpload">Launch modal</button>

<div class="modal fade" id="imageUpload" tabindex="-1">
<div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
        Upload form here
    </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
</div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->

and my JS:

$(function(){
    $('#imageUpload').modal({
        show: false
    });

    $('#imageUpload').on('hidden', function () {
        window.alert('hidden event fired!');
    });
});

I've put a JSfiddle together here - http://jsfiddle.net/EcnC3/1/

I've not found any other reports of modal events not working in Bootstrap 3 so I'm sure I've done something wrong, but can't figure it out. Thanks for any help you can offer

Solution 1

According to documentation the event name is like shown.bs.modal:

$('#imageUpload').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
   alert('show event fired!');
});

Have a look at this FIDDLE

Solution 2

remove the .fade class from your modal. this worked for me.

Solution 3

removing the fade class on the modal element do the fix.

$(window).on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {

didn't realize I was looking at the 2.3.2 docs by mistake, thanks!

This worked for me, as did using 'show.bs.modal' instead of 'shown'

This worked for me as well. A possible hacky workaround is simply running your code in a setTimeout > 150ms (thats the length of the CSS3 animation for .fade) inside the show.bs.modal trigger. i.e $('#imageUpload').on('show.bs.modal', function () { setTimeout(function(){ alert('modal is visible!'); }, 200); });

Nice find on the fade class. Hard to believe that hasn't been addressed yet.

are you kidding me??? why isn't this fixed! confirming that removing .fade from the .modal element fixes the issue when you register a .on(...) handler for a modal that is invoked with options (see OP)
