Pop up Bootstrap modal on success AJAX call

Question

I'm using Formkeep to do my forms, using AJAX to submit an email to their servers. What I'm getting stuck on is how do I pop up a bootstrap modal saying 'thanks' on the successful sending of an email address using AJAX.

Here's the script running the AJAX.

<script>
    $(function() {
      $('#beta-signup').submit(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();

        var formEl = $(this);
        var submitButton = $('input[type=submit]', formEl);

        $.ajax({
          type: 'POST',
          url: formEl.prop('action'),
          accept: {
            javascript: 'application/javascript'
          },
          data: formEl.serialize(),
          beforeSend: function() {
            submitButton.prop('disabled', 'disabled');
          }
        }).done(function(data) {
          submitButton.prop('disabled', false);
        });
      });
    });
</script>

I'm a beginner at AJAX requests so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Solution 1

<script>
    $(function() {
      $('#beta-signup').submit(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();

        var formEl = $(this);
        var submitButton = $('input[type=submit]', formEl);

        $.ajax({
          type: 'POST',
          url: formEl.prop('action'),
          accept: {
            javascript: 'application/javascript'
          },
          data: formEl.serialize(),
          beforeSend: function() {
            submitButton.prop('disabled', 'disabled');
              }
        success: function(data) {
           $('#your-modal').modal('toggle');
          }
        }).done(function(data) {
          submitButton.prop('disabled', false);
        });
      });
    });
</script>

After your done call back, add:

 success: function(data) {
               $('#your-modal').modal('toggle');
              }

And make sure your modal has similar attributes as:

<div class="modal fade" id="your-modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
    <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">

            </div>
            <div class="modal-body">

            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

You have to add some elements.

HTML (Simple markup for the modal):

<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span></button>
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Confirmation</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>Success message</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

JS (Add this code to your success return):

// Your code
}).done(function(data) {
    submitButton.prop('disabled', false);
    $('#myModal').modal({'show' : true});
});

Thank you Mark, greatly appreciated.

Note* depending on your page set up, you'll probably want to add the style="hidden" to you modal.

Hi @Mark I'm currently getting an 'Unexpected identifier' on the line with this "success: function(data) {"
