Currently, I am tackling a challenge involving 2 bootstrap modals located on the same page with Bootstrap version 2.3.2.
A frustrating issue that has arisen is that whenever either modal appears, the first time you click on any of the inputs within the modal, it loses focus immediately. After this initial hiccup, everything functions properly in terms of focus; it's just that first instance.
I have researched similar issues online but unfortunately, none of the suggested solutions seem to work for me. Here are the strategies I have tried:
1.)
$('#Modal').focus(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
2.) There was mention of removing an "in" class from the modal, however, my modal doesn't have this class.
3.) I attempted commenting out a portion of the bootstrap code as a potential fix, although this is not an ideal solution. I couldn't pinpoint the exact piece of code mentioned, but experimented with something similar without success.
4.) I played around with setting focus on an input (which works initially until another element is clicked), and also trying to prevent the default behavior again.
$('#Modal').on('shown', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#textArea').focus();
});
At this stage, I have exhausted my resources on Google and I am struggling to identify why this issue is occurring. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
