perform data-toggle with jquery

Question

I have a button that toggles a bootstrap modal.

<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">

I want to do the same thing with a jquery function. Is this possible?

Answer 1

give your button id and hide it:

CSS:

#btnTrigger
{
display:none;
}

HTML:

<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" id="btnTrigger" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">

and on someother event or condition just click it programmatically:

JQuery:

$('#btnTrigger').click();

In Result, popup will be displayed.

Answer 2

With simple code like you posted:

<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">

It won't show modal dialog unless you write code in javascript like:

$("button").on("click", function(){
  $($(this).attr("data-target")).modal("show");
});

And what you will put in data-target will open a div with id as dialog modal.

or

$("button").on("click", function(){
  $($(this).data("target")).modal("show");
});

Answer 3

below code worked for me, you can call this function on any event

 <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        ShowModel = function () {
            $("#myModal").modal();
        }
    });
</script>
