Modals are built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They’re positioned over everything else in the document and remove scroll from the `<body>` so that modal content scrolls instead.

## Default markup

To create a modal, you need to add a `.modal` element to the document. Inside the `.modal`, you need to add a `.modal-dialog` element, which contains a `.modal-content` element. The `.modal-content` element contains the modal’s header, body, and footer.

```html
<div class="modal" tabindex="-1">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">...</div>
      <div class="modal-body">...</div>
      <div class="modal-footer">...</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```

Look at the example below to see how the modal looks.

<Example centered bg="surface-secondary">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModal"> Launch demo modal </button> <div class="modal" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1"> <div class="modal-dialog" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title">Modal title</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Adipisci animi beatae delectus deleniti dolorem eveniet facere fuga iste nemo nesciunt nihil odio perspiciatis, quia quis reprehenderit sit tempora totam unde. </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn me-auto" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Save changes</button> </div> </div> </div> </div>
</Example>

## Prompt and alert

You can use the modal to create a prompt or alert. Look at the example below to see how the prompt and alert look.
