unable to call bootstrap modal window using javascript in chrome (works in firefox)

jquery, modal-dialog, twitter-bootstrap

Solution

I noticed this problem may occur under the following conditions:

- JQuery has been loaded twice.

- The individual twitter bootstrap plugin is loaded on top of bootstrap.js

- The .js files are included in the wrong order

- The wrong type is sent to the function.

Problem

I have included the sample code from twitter-bootstrap for a modal window. If I click on the button it opens up the modal window. However if I try to show the modal window through javascript I get the following error - ``` $("#myModal").modal("show") TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' ``` This error is only coming in chrome and works in firefox. Below is the HTML. "project-add-modal" is the id of the modal box. Navigate to Project -> Add to see the modal button. - ``` <html class=" js flexbox canvas canvastext no-webgl no-touch geolocation postmessage websqldatabase indexeddb hashchange history draganddrop websockets rgba hsla multiplebgs backgroundsize borderimage borderradius boxshadow textshadow opacity cssanimations csscolumns cssgradients cssreflections csstransforms no-csstransforms3d csstransitions fontface generatedcontent video audio localstorage sessionstorage webworkers applicationcache svg inlinesvg smil svgclippaths" lang="en"><head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"> <title>Project Management</title> <meta name="description" content=""> <meta name="author" content=""> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/docs.css"> <script src="//www.google-analytics.com/ga.js"></script><script src="js/libs/modernizr-2.5.3.min.js"></script> </head> <body class=""> <div id="header"><div id="top-navbar"> <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top"> <div class="navbar-inner"> <div class="container"> <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse"> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> </a> <div class="nav-collapse"> <ul data-navlinks="left" class="nav"> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Projects<b class="caret"></b></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#" id="add-new-project" bind="click: pm.client.templating.hello"> Add </a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Admin<b class="caret"></b></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#">Invite Users</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul class="nav pull-right"> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Username<b class="caret"></b></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#">Logout</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="container cljs-main"><div id="project-add-section"> <a class="btn" data-toggle="modal" href="#project-add-modal">Launch Modal</a> <div class="modal hide fade" id="project-add-modal" style="display: none; "> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> <h3>Add New Project</h3> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <form class="form-horizontal"> <fieldset> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label" for="input01">Project Name</label> <div class="controls"> <input type="text" class="input-xlarge" id="project-name"> </div> </div> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label" for="textarea">Project Description</label> <div class="controls"> <textarea class="input-xlarge" id="project-desc" rows="3"></textarea> </div> </div> <label class="control-label">Invite People to collaborate on your project</label> <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label" for="prependedInput"></label> <div class="controls"> <div class="input-prepend"> <span class="add-on">@</span><input class="span2" id="prependedInput" size="16" type="text"> </div> <p class="help-block">Here's some help text</p> </div> </div> </fieldset> </form></div> <div class="modal-footer"> <a href="#" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Close</a> <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a> </div> </div> </div></div> <footer> </footer> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/libs/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"><\/script>')</script>  <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="js/plugins.js"></script> <script src="js/script.js"></script> <script src="cljs/client.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="deps.js"></script> <script>$(function() {cljsbinding.boot()})</script>  <script> var _gaq=[['_setAccount','UA-XXXXX-X'],['_trackPageview']]; (function(d,t){var g=d.createElement(t),s=d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; g.src=('https:'==location.protocol?'//ssl':'//www')+'.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s)}(document,'script')); </script> <iframe name="xpcpeer7X7y" id="xpcpeer7X7y" style="display: none; " src="http://localhost:9000/repl?xpc=%7B%22cn%22%3A%22PmCIncJdVC%22%2C%22tp%22%3Anull%7D"></iframe></body></html> ``` Thanks, Murtaza
