Forms within modal-body in Twitter Bootstrap.

I've been working on a Twitter Bootstrap site recently. It contains modal which require a little interaction within the modal box itself. So here is an example of how to achieve this, this time using forms. First, I load the form into the modal, then I handle the form still within the modal. Most of the code is taken directly from the Twitter Bootstrap website. The only real difference is that I've loaded jQuery and the bootstrap.min.js before the body. I've highlighted the important parts in red.

Get links to target modal-body in Twitter Bootstrap

I've been working on a Twitter Bootstrap site recently. It contains modal which require a little interaction within the modal box itself. So here is an example of how to achieve this, first using links (hyperlinks). Most of the code is taken directly from the Twitter Bootstrap website. The only real difference is that I've loaded jQuery and the bootstrap.min.js before the body. I've highlighted the important parts in red.

htaccess and HTML5 lines to force downloads

Here are a couple of tips to make life a little easier for your users with download links.
If you are running a Apache as your web server you can add the following line to your htaccess file:

AddType application/octet-stream .pdf

and/or ad a line like this within your HTML page:

<a href="document.pdf" download="document.pdf">Download the document</a>

In this case the pdf will automatically be downloaded when the user clicks on the link, rather than presenting them with a dialogue box asking them what to do.
