How to resize Twitter Bootstrap modal dynamically based on the content

Question

I have database content which has different types of data, such as Youtube videos, Vimeo videos, text, Imgur pictures, etc. All of them have different heights and widths. All I have found while searching the Internet is changing the size to only one parameter. It has to be same as the content in the popup.

This is my HTML code. I also use Ajax to call the content.

<div id="modal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
        <h3 id="ModalLabel"></h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">

    </div>
</div> 

Answer 1

This worked for me, none of the above worked.

.modal-dialog{
    position: relative;
    display: table; /* This is important */ 
    overflow-y: auto;    
    overflow-x: auto;
    width: auto;
    min-width: 300px;   
}
