    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
                <h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-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>
    </div>
</div>

I refer below example,

My question:

How can i open #myModal on button click by using javascript/jquery ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Give an ID to uniquely identify the button, lets say myBtn

// when DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function () {

     // Attach Button click event listener 
    $("#myBtn").click(function(){

         // show Modal
         $('#myModal').modal('show');
    });
});

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#dialog").dialog({
            modal: true,
            autoOpen: false,
            title: "jQuery Dialog",
            width: 300,
            height: 150
        });
        $("#btnShow").click(function () {
            $('#dialog').dialog('open');
        });
    });
</script>
<input type="button" id="btnShow" value="Show Popup" />
<div id="dialog" style="display: none" align = "center">
    This is a jQuery Dialog.
</div>
