I am trying to have a twitter-bootstrap modal dialog box appear on page load for a certain view. I am doing this using the code:
<script>
$(window).load(function(){
$('#shareModal').modal('show');
});
</script>
<div class="modal hide fade" id="shareModal">
<div class="modal-header">
<a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
<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>
On page load, instead of the modal popping up, the screen appears "greyed" out (faded) and nothing appears. Anyone have any idea what could be going on? Thank you.
Hmmm,
I think that you should try this with Bootstrap 3:
<div class = "modal fade" id="shareModal" role = "dialog">
<div class = "modal-dialog">
<div class = "modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
<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>
</div>
</div>
in your browser's console just type: $('#shareModal').modal(); to test your modal
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
One fine body…
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div><!-- /.modal-content -->
</div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div><!-- /.modal -->
JS
$(window).load(function(){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
});
