This is fantastic, I will definately be replacing my bootstrap modal code to use your library. This would be great if this got committed into bootstrap.

this isn't responsive on majority of current mobile browsers though... http://caniuse.com/css-fixed

also see my other comment with regards to patching it for abs positioning

edit: current alternative is http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/

"Stackable" After checking out the live demo, I have no idea how "stacking" modals could make a good user interface.

It is a perfect use case for adding a newly created category to a post.

Similarly for adding any foreign key item which could be multiple levels.

Django admin does this now by opening a "new" in a different window.

You know what's really awesome about this Modal? Unlike built-in one, this one works on iPhone without issues! Long window scrolls just fine. You just made me so happy :) Definitely using in something I am currently working on. Thanks!

I concur, it also works great in IE on Windows Phone.

Definitely prefer this to the default modal, which blacks out the screen around it. I'll have to run some tests to see if any version of IE can handle this.

Is it really worth installing an entirely new library just to achieve something a simple line of CSS could do?

    .modal-background { background:white; }
For me, Twitter Bootstrap's components have been the right tradeoff between flexibility and functionality. It doesn't have too many bells and whistles which makes it way easier to integrate into my own code.

Maybe I just haven't run in to the use cases for Bootstrap's modal that causes the pain that this fixes, but most of these "features" seem like "it would be cool if..." product cruft.

This is a drop-in replacement so that once you hit those use cases, you won't have the pain others have already felt before you. =)
