Mark, If you want to load the page with the data pre-rendered in a hidden modal that pops up, you just need to make sure that your modal html is in the page, and your link/button associated with it points to the right element ID.
If you want to load the page not knowing what the form will be like or what data will be in it until the user does something, then my best recommendation to you is to provide a way to get that data from your server using an XmlHTTPRequest in javascript, and populate your modal form using javascript instead. Most frontend MVC frameworks (e.g., AngularJS, Ember, etc.) make this pretty easy to do. -Ian On 09/11/15 09:35, D Mark Weiss wrote: > I am using bootstrap. > > I understand I can define a modal in the HTML and have it open on top of > the page.
