For these controls to function you need to provide the markup for them, bootstrap doesn't add them to modals automatically. If you can modify the output of playerdetails.php
, simply add the markup there...e.g.
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
</div>
However Bootstrap has deprecated the remote option since v3.3.0 and removed it alltogether in Bootstrap 4. Instead they recommend instead using client-side templating or a data binding framework, or calling jQuery.load yourself
If you call jQuery.load yourself you can do something like this:
<!-- Modal HTML -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<!-- load contents here -->
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
define your button
<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-open-dialog">Launch Demo Modal</button>
and bind a jQuery click event to it to load your player
$('.btn-open-dialog').on('click', function(){
$('#myModal .modal-body').load('playerdetails.php?player=99VY9JR8', function(){
/* load finished, show dialog */
$('#myModal').modal('show')
});
});
