Twitter bootstrap modal not working
You need use the data-target tag.
Try to replace the href="#myModal" attribute with data-target="#myModal".
Besides, you have put a hide class, I guess it shouldn't be there.
Look at the examples here
Change this:
<a data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" class="btn btn-primary btn-large">Launch demo modal</a>
To this:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-large" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch demo modal</button>
(remark that changing a tag to button tag is not the answer but it is adding the data-target and data-toggle attribute that does the "work")
Please look at this example:
<!DOCTYPE html >
<html>
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Modal</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Bootstrap -->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.2/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">

</head>
<body>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-large" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch demo modal</button>
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="purchaseLabel" aria-hidden="true">
