jquery - Confirm deletion using Bootstrap 3 modal box

Question

I need to confirm deletion using Bootstrap 3 modal box (YES/NO). How can I create this?

HTML code:

<form action="blah" method="POST">
    <button class='btn' type="submit" name="remove_levels" value="delete">
        <span class="fa fa-times"></span> Delete
    </button>
</form>

Answer 1

You need the modal in your HTML. When the delete button is clicked it popup the modal. It's also important to prevent the click of that button from submitting the form. When the confirmation is clicked the form will submit.

   

 $('button[name="remove_levels"]').on('click', function(e) {
      var $form = $(this).closest('form');
      e.preventDefault();
      $('#confirm').modal({
          backdrop: 'static',
          keyboard: false
      })
      .on('click', '#delete', function(e) {
          $form.trigger('submit');
        });
      $("#cancel").on('click',function(e){
       e.preventDefault();
       $('#confirm').modal.model('hide');
      });
    });

<form action="#" method="POST">
  <button class='btn btn-danger btn-xs' type="submit" name="remove_levels" value="delete"><span class="fa fa-times"></span> delete</button>
</form>

<div id="confirm" class="modal">
  <div class="modal-body">
    Are you sure?
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" class="btn btn-primary" id="delete">Delete</button>
    <button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" class="btn">Cancel</button>
  </div>
