How do modals load content from external sources?

Question

I see various modals (bootstrap etc.) have the ability to load in content from a URL.

What is the technology behind doing this, javascript? if so how does it work?

it work with ajax request, same question [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/20255191/6390681) — Ygrick, Nov 22 '17 at 11:26

This is normally done with either:

a iframe in the modal container or
XMLHttpRequest / fetch with the requested content being inserted into the DOM afterwards

Yes they use JavaScript, you can do this in 2 ways.

One way is using an iframe and the second isusing Ajax to load the data or jQuery .load function
