Select2 doesn't work when embedded in a bootstrap modal

Question

When I use a select2 (input) in bootstrap modal, I can't type anything into it. It's like disabled? Outside the modal select2 works fine.

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/byJy8/1/ code:

<!-- Modal -->
<div id="myModal" 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="myModalLabel">Panel</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body" style="max-height: 800px">


<form class="form-horizontal">

<!-- Text input-->
<div class="control-group">
  <label class="control-label" for="vdn_number">Numer</label>
  <div class="controls">
     <!-- seleect2 -->
    <input name="vdn_number" type="hidden" id="vdn_number"  class="input-large" required=""  />
  </div>
</div>

  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
    <button class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
  </div>
</div>

and js:

$("#vdn_number").select2({
    placeholder: "00000",
    minimumInputLength: 2,
    ajax: {
        url: "getAjaxData/",
        dataType: 'json',
        type: "POST",
        data: function (term, page) {
            return {
                q: term, // search term
                col: 'vdn'
            };
        },
        results: function (data) { // parse the results into the format expected by Select2.
            // since we are using custom formatting functions we do not need to alter remote JSON data
            return {results: data};
        }
    }
});

Answer 1

Ok, I've got it to work.

change

<div id="myModal" 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="myModalLabel">Panel</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body" style="max-height: 800px">

to

<div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade" 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="myModalLabel">Panel</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body" style="max-height: 800px">

(remove tabindex="-1" from modal)
