title: Modals
summary: Use Bootstrap’s JavaScript modal plugin to add dialogs to your site for lightboxes, user notifications, or completely custom content.

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.

```html example centered height="30rem"
<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>
```

## 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.

```html example centered height="30rem"
<div class="modal" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-sm" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      <div class="modal-status bg-danger"></div>
      <div class="modal-body text-center py-4">

        </svg>
        <h3>Are you sure?</h3>
        <div class="text-secondary">Do you really want to remove 84 files? What you've done cannot be undone.</div>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">

            </div>
            <div class="col">
              <a href="#" class="btn btn-danger w-100" data-bs-dismiss="modal">

    var myModal = new bootstrap.Modal(document.getElementById('exampleModal'))
    myModal.show()
  })
</script>
