How to open a Bootstrap modal window using jQuery?
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:
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.
