I was facing the same problem during testing on mobile devices and this trick worked for me

<a type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal">Submit</a>

Change the button to anchor tag it should work, the problem occurs due to its type button as it is trying to submit so the modal disappears immediately.and also remove hide from modal hide fade give <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true"> Hope this would work for you .

I had the same issue because I was toggling my modal twice as shown below   statusCode        410  function  request  status  error      custom error code          document getElementById  modalbody   innerHTML   error              myErrorModal   modal  toggle            error  function  request  error         document getElementById  modalbody   innerHTML   error          myErrorModal   modal  toggle       I removed one occurrence of          myErrorModal   modal  toggle     and it worked like magic

Yet another cause solution  I had in my JS code       show survey   click function           survey modal   modal  show        But my HTML code was already written as    lt a class  small-text link  data-target   survey modal  data-toggle  modal  href     id  show survey  gt Take a quick 7 question survey  lt  a gt    So this is another permutation of how duplication entered the code and caused the modal to open then close  In my case  data-target and data-toggle in html as per Bootstrap docs already trigger the modal to work  The JS code is therefore redundant  and when removed  it works

A Likely Cause  This is typical behavior for when the JavaScript for the Modal plugin gets loaded twice   Please check to make sure that the plugin isn t getting double loaded   Depending on the platform you are using  the modal code could be loaded from a number a sources   Some of the common ones are    bootstrap js  the full BootStrap JS suite  bootstrap min js  same as above  just minified  bootstrap-modal js  the standalone plugin  a dependency loader  e g   require  bootstrap     Debugging Tips  A good place to start is to inspect the registered click event listeners using the developer tools in your browser   Chrome  for instance  will list the JS source file where the code to register the listener can be found   Another option is to try searching the sources on the page for a phrase found in the Modal code  e g   var Modal   Unfortunately  these won t always find things in all cases  Inspecting the network requests can be a little more robust at giving you a picture of everything loaded on a page   A  Broken  Demo  Here s a demo of what happens when you load both the bootstrap js and bootstrap-modal js  just to confirm your experience    Plunker  If you scroll down to the bottom of the source on that page  you can remove or comment out the  lt script gt  line for the bootstrap-modal js and then verify that now the modal will function as expected

The problem can also occurs if using jquery you attach an event listener twice  For exemple you would set without unbinding                   body   on  click    fixerror  function event                       fixerrormodal   modal  toggle                    If this happens the event is fired twice in a row and the modal disapears                  body   on  click    fixerror  function event                       fixerrormodal   modal                       fixerrormodal   modal  toggle                    See exemple   http   embed plnkr co i5xB1WbX7zgXrbDMhNAW preview

I looked for a while for a duplicate bootstrap reference in my mvc app  after the other helpful answers on this question   Finally found it - it was included in another library I was using  so wasn t obvious at all   datatables net    If you still get this problem  look for other libraries that might be including bootstrap for you    datatables net allows you to specify a download with or without bootstrap - others do the same    So I removed the bootstrap min js from my bundle config and all worked fine

I ran into the same symptom that  gpasse showed in his example  Here was my code      lt form    gt     lt  -- various inputs with form submit --- gt      lt  -- button opens modal to show dynamic info -- gt     lt button id  myButton  class  btn btn-primary  gt Show Modal lt  button gt   lt  form gt    lt div id  myModal  class  modal fade      gt   lt  div gt    lt script gt         myButton    click  function              myModal    modal           lt  script gt    As  Bhargav suggested  my issue was due to the button attempting to submit the form  and reloading the page  I changed the button to an  lt a gt  link as follows    lt a href     id  myButton  class  btn btn-primary  gt Show Modal lt  a gt       and it fixed the problem   NOTE  I don t have enough reputation to simply add a comment or upvote yet  and I felt that I could add a little clarification

I had the same problem but it had a different cause  I followed the documentation and created a button like so    lt button class  btn btn-primary btn-lg  data-toggle  modal  data-target   myModal  gt    Launch demo modal  lt  button gt    When I clicked it  it appeared that nothing would happen  However  the button was in a  lt form gt  that was temporarily just fetching the same page   I fixed this by adding type  button  to the button element  so that it wouldn t submit the form when clicked

In my case  I had the CDN included in the head of application html erb and also installed the  jquery-rails  gem  which I am guessing thanks to the documentation and posts above  is redundant   I simply commented out the CDN  below  from the head of application html erb and the modal appropriately stays open    lt  -- lt script src  https   maxcdn bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 3 3 4 js bootstrap min js  gt  lt  script gt -- gt

I came across this issue myself today and it happened to be only in Chrome  What made me realise it might be a rendering issue  Moving the specific modal to it s own rendering layer solved it    myModal     -webkit-transform  translate3d 0  0  0

I too had the same issue  but for me it was happening because I had a button with type  submit  within the modal form  I changed       lt input  type  submit  name  submitname  id  partyBtn  value  Submit  title  Click to submit    gt    to       lt input  type  button  name  submitname  id  partyBtn  value  Submit  title  Click to submit    gt    And that fixed the disappearance issue
