Question

I've tried to bind the event 'show' in my modal but nothing happens when it's shown. Here's the code that was supposed to work. The alert is not beeing displayed. ``` ``` Modal window code: ```

Accepted Answer

you need to encase the code inside `DOM ready event` if your script is in the header section.

```
$(function() {
  $('#myModal').bind('show',function(){
      alert('howdy');
      $("#nome").val('bosta');
  });
});
```
