When using BS modals without a backdrop and with custom overlay styling to make them look like floating windows (for example, for cookie consent), I am aware that setting button elements to be clickable requires the following:
.modal { pointer-events: none }But how can I ensure that input elements are focusable and writable when the modal is displayed?
You can view my code snippet or access the fiddle here.
$("#exampleModal").modal({
backdrop: false,
show: true
}).modal { pointer-events: none; }<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.3/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
