I have two twitter share button , one on body and another inside a bootstrap modal.

Both Share button works on chrome but not on Firefox. On Firefox the first share button which is out side modal is working but when I open the modal I can’t see the share button.

Is it a bug? Is there any workaround for this problem?

Here is my code

            js.src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
            return window.twttr || (t = { _e: [], ready: function(f){ t._e.push(f) } });
        }(document, "script", "twitter-wjs"));
    </script>

    <div class="row">

  1. It looks like a bug, because the widget button is hidden in the Firefox and this css provided by Twitter. However, I have found workaround for that – basically you can create the missing button by yourself.

    1) Change contents of modal-bodydiv like this:

    <div class="modal-body">
        <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet">
            <i class="btn-icon"></i>
            <span class="btn-text">Tweet</span>
        </a>
    </div>
    

    2) Add following styles to your page:

    .modal-body a .btn-icon{
        position: relative;
        width:60px;
        height: 20px;
        padding: 1px 10px 1px 7px;
        font-weight: 500;
        color: #fff;
        cursor: pointer;
        background-color: #1b95e0;
        border-radius: 3px;
        box-sizing: border-box;
        background-image:url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2072%2072%22%3E%3Cpath%20fill%3D%22none%22%20d%3D%22M0%200h72v72H0z%22%2F%3E%3Cpath%20class%3D%22icon%22%20fill%3D%22%23fff%22%20d%3D%22M68.812%2015.14c-2.348%201.04-4.87%201.744-7.52%202.06%202.704-1.62%204.78-4.186%205.757-7.243-2.53%201.5-5.33%202.592-8.314%203.176C56.35%2010.59%2052.948%209%2049.182%209c-7.23%200-13.092%205.86-13.092%2013.093%200%201.026.118%202.02.338%202.98C25.543%2024.527%2015.9%2019.318%209.44%2011.396c-1.125%201.936-1.77%204.184-1.77%206.58%200%204.543%202.312%208.552%205.824%2010.9-2.146-.07-4.165-.658-5.93-1.64-.002.056-.002.11-.002.163%200%206.345%204.513%2011.638%2010.504%2012.84-1.1.298-2.256.457-3.45.457-.845%200-1.666-.078-2.464-.23%201.667%205.2%206.5%208.985%2012.23%209.09-4.482%203.51-10.13%205.605-16.26%205.605-1.055%200-2.096-.06-3.122-.184%205.794%203.717%2012.676%205.882%2020.067%205.882%2024.083%200%2037.25-19.95%2037.25-37.25%200-.565-.013-1.133-.038-1.693%202.558-1.847%204.778-4.15%206.532-6.774z%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E");
    }
    .modal-body a .btn-icon:hover{
        background-color:#0c7abf;
    }
    .btn-text{
        display: inline-block;
        vertical-align: top;
        margin-left: 3px;
    }
    .modal-body a{
        position: relative;
        height: 20px;
        padding: 5px 14px 5px 6px;
        font-weight: 500;
        color: #fff;
        cursor: pointer;
        background-color: #1b95e0;
        border-radius: 3px;
        box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    .modal-body a:hover{
        background-color:#0c7abf;
    }
    

    3) Add jQuery event handlers

    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.modal-body a .btn-icon, .modal-body a').hover(function(){
            $('.modal-body a .btn-icon, .modal-body a')
            .css('background-color', '#0c7abf');
        },
        function(){
            $('.modal-body a .btn-icon, .modal-body a')
            .css('background-color', '#1b95e0');
        })
    })
    

    That’s it. So now you have buttons in FF and Chrome inside popup window. You can adjust the styles for button and icon to make it looks better, if necessary.

  2. Or just go ahead and clone the button with jQuery:

    $(function() {
      $('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function(e) {
        if ($(".modal-body").find('.twitter-share-button').size())
            return;
    
        $('.twitter-share-button:first').clone().appendTo('.modal-body');
      });
    });
