title: instead of taking to a different page, open page in modal
body: <p>I'm not sure if this is possible but what I'm trying to do is when user clicks a button then instead of taking the user to a different page, I want the new page to be opened in a modal, and be active there. I'm using twitter bootstrap. is it possible to do that?  </p>
  
  <p>bootstrap modal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- Button trigger modal --&gt;
  &lt;button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal"&gt;
    Launch demo modal
  &lt;/button&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- Modal --&gt;
  &lt;div class="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"&gt;
    &lt;div class="modal-dialog" role="document"&gt;
      &lt;div class="modal-content"&gt;
        &lt;div class="modal-header"&gt;
          &lt;h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel"&gt;Modal title&lt;/h5&gt;
          &lt;button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"&gt;
            &lt;span aria-hidden="true"&gt;&amp;times;&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;/button&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="modal-body"&gt;
          ...
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;div class="modal-footer"&gt;
          &lt;button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal"&gt;Close&lt;/button&gt;
          &lt;button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;Save changes&lt;/button&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
