Disable click outside of bootstrap modal area to close modal [duplicate]


On Options chapter, in the page you linked, you can see the backdrop option. Passing this option with value 'static' will prevent closing the modal.
As @PedroVagner pointed on comments, you also can pass {keyboard: false} to prevent closing the modal by pressing Esc.

If you opening the modal by js use:

$('#myModal').modal({backdrop: 'static', keyboard: false})  

If you are using data attributes, use:

 <button data-target="#myModal" data-toggle="modal" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">    Launch demo modal </button>`


This is the easiest one

You can define your modal behavior, defining data-keyboard and data-backdrop.

<div id="modal" class="modal hide fade in" data-keyboard="false" data-backdrop="static">


You can use an attribute like this: data-backdrop="static" or with javascript:

$('#myModal').modal({    backdrop: 'static',    keyboard: false  // to prevent closing with Esc button (if you want this too)})
