Issue with Bootstrap 5 Modal not closing on outside click when using custom backdrop
I'm prototyping a solution and I'm having a hard time understanding I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I'm using Bootstrap 5.3 for my project and have a modal that I want to close when clicking outside of it, but I need to use a custom backdrop for styling purposes. I implemented a custom backdrop using CSS, but now the modal doesn't close when clicking outside of its bounds. The modal is initialized with the options `{ backdrop: 'static' }`, but I want it to close on an outside click. Here's the relevant HTML and JavaScript code: ```html <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5> <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button> </div> <div class="modal-body"> Modal body content here. </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> ``` ```javascript const myModal = new bootstrap.Modal(document.getElementById('myModal'), { backdrop: 'static' }); document.getElementById('myModal').addEventListener('show.bs.modal', function () { const backdrop = document.createElement('div'); backdrop.className = 'custom-backdrop'; // Custom backdrop class document.body.appendChild(backdrop); }); ``` The custom backdrop has a class `.custom-backdrop` defined in my CSS: ```css .custom-backdrop { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); z-index: 1040; } ``` I've tried changing the modal options and removing the `backdrop: 'static'` option, but it still doesn’t close when clicking the backdrop. I also checked for event listeners that might be preventing the default close behavior, but everything seems fine. Am I missing something to allow the modal to close on an outside click? How would you solve this? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. For context: I'm using Javascript on CentOS.
