How to open a Bootstrap modal window using jQuery?
Most often, when $('#myModal').modal('show');
doesn't work, it's caused by having included jQuery twice. Including jQuery 2 times makes modals not to work.
Remove one of the links to make it work again.
Furthermore, some plugins cause errors too, in this case add
jQuery.noConflict();
$('#myModal').modal('show');
In addition you can use via data attribute
<button type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch modal</button>
In this particular case you don't need to write javascript.
You can see more here: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/javascript.html#modals
Just call the modal method(without passing any parameters) using jQuery
selector.
Here is example:
$('#modal').modal();
Bootstrap has a few functions that can be called manually on modals:
$('#myModal').modal('toggle');
$('#myModal').modal('show');
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
You can see more here: Bootstrap modal component
Specifically the methods section.
So you would need to change:
$('#my-modal').modal({
show: 'false'
});
to:
$('#myModal').modal('show');
If you're looking to make a custom popup of your own, here's a suggested video from another community member:
