Use bootstrap .modal() on dynamically loaded content

Question

I have my code here, that inserts a predefined modal markup at the end of the body:

var languageModal = 
'<div id="lngModal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="lngModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">'+
'   <div class="modal-body"></div>'+
'   <div class="modal-footer">'+
'       <form class="inline" id="lngModalForm">'+
'           <button class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">'+
'               <span lang="hu"'+((langAfterInit == 'hu') ? '' : ' style="display:none;"')+'>Bezárás</span>'+
'               <span lang="en"'+((langAfterInit != 'hu') ? ' style="display:none;"' : '')+'>Close</span>'+
'           </button>'+
'       </form>'+
'   </div>'+
'</div>';

$('body').append(languageModal);

But, when I call .modal() on it, it won't load, only the black overlay appears:

$('#lngModal').modal({
    backdrop    : 'static',
    keyboard    : false,
    remote      : '/language.html',
});

I tried with .on('modal',{...}), but that didn't work.

Solution 1

After a lot of help from @Badaboooooom and @ic3b3rg, turns out I had to exchange the .modal({... remote : '...', ..}) for a data-remote="..." tag in the script markup, and also had to remove the .fade from #lngModal.

var languageModal =  '<div id="lngModal" class="modal hide"  data-remote="/language.html">'+
//other stuff

$('#lngModal').modal('show',{
    backdrop: true,
    keyboard: false,
}); 

Solution 2

Your code does work. Are you loading the bootstrap css?

I can't post this w/o some code:

' Nothing, really

Solution 3

try this:

    $('body').append(languageModal,function(){
console.log('modal appended');
    $('#lngModal').modal({
                    backdrop    : 'static',
                    keyboard    : false,
                    remote      : '/language.html',
                }); 

console.log('modal init');
    });

instead of

$('body').append(languageModal);
            $('#lngModal').modal({
                backdrop    : 'static',
                keyboard    : false,
                remote      : '/language.html',
            });
