QUESTION: Is there a way to close the modality without using Javascript? And this is not possible, how can I use Javascript to close this modal?

Answer 1

If you do not want to use jQuery to close the modality when you click ok, you can do something similar to the following code with simple JavaScript. You will need to assign an index to the selector for it to work.

    //begin click event
    document.getElementById("ok").addEventListener("click",function(event){


    /* Hide the element with a class name of modal.
       note:If there is more than one element with the class name
       modal then this code will only select the first one in the
       collection of elements 
    */

    document.getElementsByClassName("modal")[0].style.display = "none";


       });//end click event
