**EDIT**: Ive recreated the problem here <http://plnkr.co/edit/w6yJ8KUvD3cgOrr56zH3?p=preview>

I'm new to angularjs and I'm trying to create a popupmodal with some data..

I can't understand why it is empty the first time I open it, but the second (and so on) its good. By good I mean that the header is there. So every time the page is reloaded it's empty the first time.

Can you see what I am missing?

ModalController.js:

```
angular.module("Modal")
.controller("ModalController",
[
    "$scope", "$uibModal", "$log", "ModalService", "AuthenticationService",
    function($scope, $uibModal, $log, ModalService, AuthenticationService) {
        AuthenticationService.GetCurrentWindowsUser(function(username) {
            $scope.username = username;
        });

        $scope.openModal = function () {
            AuthenticationService.GetItems($scope.username, function(items) {
                $scope.items = items;
            });

            $scope.animationsEnabled = true;
            $uibModal.open({
                animation: $scope.animationsEnabled,
                templateUrl: 'modals/items.html',
                controller: 'ModalInstanceController',
                size: 'lg',
                resolve: {
                    funds: function() {
                        return $scope.items;
                    }
                }
            });
        };
    }
])
.controller('ModalInstanceController', function($scope, $uibModalInstance, items) {

    $scope.items = items;

    $scope.ok = function() {
        $uibModalInstance.close();
    };

});

```

items.html:

```
<div class="container" ng-controller="ModalController">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="modals/items.html">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <h3 class="text-centered">items</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" ng-click="ok()">SELECT</button>
    </div>
</script>

</div>

```

Home.html:

```
<div class="container" ng-controller="ModalController">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="openModal()">Large modal</button>
</div>

I managed to solve this by removing the script tag in my modal which I wanted to display

```
    <div class="modal-header">
        <h3 class="modal-title">I'm a modal!</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
        <ul>
            <li ng-repeat="item in items">
                <a href="#" ng-click="$event.preventDefault(); selected.item = item">{{ item }}</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
        Selected: <b>{{ selected.item }}</b>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" ng-click="ok()">OK</button>
        <button class="btn btn-warning" type="button" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
    </div>

```

Try the following

```
angular.module("Modal")
.controller("ModalController",
[
    "$scope", "$uibModal", "$log", "ModalService", "AuthenticationService",
    function($scope, $uibModal, $log, ModalService, AuthenticationService) {
        AuthenticationService.GetCurrentWindowsUser(function(username) {
            $scope.username = username;
        });

        $scope.openModal = function () {
            AuthenticationService.GetItems($scope.username, function(items)  {
                $scope.items = items;

                $scope.animationsEnabled = true;
                $uibModal.open({
                animation: $scope.animationsEnabled,
                templateUrl: 'modals/items.html',
                controller: 'ModalInstanceController',
                size: 'lg',
                resolve: {
                    items: function() {
                        return $scope.items;
                    }
                }
                });
            });

        };
    }
])
.controller('ModalInstanceController', function($scope, $uibModalInstance, items) {

    $scope.items = items;

    $scope.ok = function() {
        $uibModalInstance.close();
    };

});

```

Could it be thet your resolve was called funds and not items as being passed into your `modalInstanceController`
