Can not get a simple bootstrap modal to work
javascript, jquery, modal-dialog, twitter-bootstrap
Solution
I finally found this solution from "Sven" and solved the problem. what I did was I included "bootstrap.min.js" with:
<script src="bootstrap.min.js"/>
instead of:
<script src="bootstrap.min.js"></script>
and it fixed the problem which looked really odd. can anyone explain why?
Problem
I am trying to get a simple bootstrap's modal sample to work, I follow this document which says " You can activate modals on your page easily without having to write a single line of javascript. Just give an element a data-controls-modal attribute which corresponds to a modal element id, ...", but I have done whatever I could and had a huge amount of research still can not get this simple modal to work. ``` <div class="modal" id="myModal"> <div class="modal-header"> <button class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> <h3>Modal header</h3> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <p>One fine body…</p> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <a href="#" class="btn">Close</a> <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a> </div> </div> ``` I have either this: ``` <a class="btn" data-controls-modal="myModal">Launch Modal</a> ``` or this: ``` <a class="btn" data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" >Launch Modal</a> ``` button to activate the modal, I have loaded the bootstrap-modal.js on the page as well. Unless I added a javascript line to handle the "Launch Modal" click event, when I click on "Launch Modal", nothing happens at all, are there anything that I have missed?
