Modal data-remote URL not called with each click.

[mangelo123]

I am using the modal dialog on a Grails based application. The first time I click a link (using the <a> tag) my action is fired as I can see in my debugger and I'm able to operate on data. Any link clicked afterwards is no longer 'loading' the URL specified by data-remote so the same dialog from the first attempt is displayed over and over.

I am assuming that this would work correctly in the javascript version. Is there no way for this to work with the data api version?

I did replace my data api approach with the comparable JQuery javascript (ajax) and it does work on every click. Having the modal dialog work this way with the data api approach would be much cleaner.

Technically a duplicate of #4197, which was (IMO, hastily) automatically closed via a pedantic haunt message; a number of users commented on the issue in support of the feature.
Previous pull requests #4224 & #4468 (implementing such a feature) were rejected via automated haunt messages for not precisely adhering to Bootstrap code guidelines.
A variation was previously rejected by an actual human response by @fat in pull request #6793.

(Solely to complete all the cross-referencing: #4803)

closing – this is by design.

Having the remote content modal respect the caching specified by the server would be best (i.e. set an expiresheader when the document is served).
