Bootstrap 3.0.0 modal events not firing

Question

I can't seem to get modal events working at all using Bootstrap 3. I want to perform an action when my modal closes, but nothing's happening.

Here's my stripped back HTML:

<button type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#imageUpload">Launch modal</button>

<div class="modal fade" id="imageUpload" tabindex="-1">
<div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
        Upload form here
    </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
</div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->

and my JS:

$(function(){
    $('#imageUpload').modal({
        show: false
    });

    $('#imageUpload').on('hidden', function () {
        window.alert('hidden event fired!');
    });
});

I've put a JSfiddle together here - http://jsfiddle.net/EcnC3/1/

I've not found any other reports of modal events not working in Bootstrap 3 so I'm sure I've done something wrong, but can't figure it out. Thanks for any help you can offer

Answer 1

remove the .fade class from your modal. this worked for me.

Answer 2

According to documentation the event name is like shown.bs.modal:

$('#imageUpload').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
   alert('show event fired!');
});
