How to get twitter bootstrap modal to close after initial launch

Question

I m very much a noob  so I think I m overseeing something  probably obvious  with twitter bootstrap modal  What I am trying to do is get a modal to launch only on mobile  This works fine with adding the class  visible-phone on the modal div  So far so good  But then I want it to work  meaning you can close it with the X button  And I cannot get the button to work    lt div class  modal visible-phone  id  myModal  gt     lt div class  modal-header  gt       lt button class  close  data-dismiss  modal  gt    lt  button gt       lt h3 gt text introductory lt br gt want to navigate to    lt  h3 gt    lt  div gt    lt div class  modal-body  gt       lt ul class  nav  gt         lt li gt      list of links here  lt  li gt       lt  ul gt      lt  div gt     lt  div gt    In the bottom of the html I put jquery js  first  and bootstrap modal js and bootstrap transition js  Actually all of the bootstrap js modules  not to miss an include   I m not experienced with js    Please forgive me if I posed a really stupid Q  I could not find the answer to this specific situation in the log

I had problems closing the bootstrap modal dialog, if it was opened with:

$('#myModal').modal('show');

I solved this problem opening the dialog by the following link:

<a href="#myModal" data-toggle="modal">Open my dialog</a>

Do not forget the initialization:

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

I also used the following attributes for the closing button:

data-dismiss="modal" data-target="#myModal"

Here is a snippet for not only closing modals without page refresh but when pressing enter it submits modal and closes without refresh  I have it set up on my site where I can have multiple modals and some modals process data on submit and some don t  What I do is create a unique ID for each modal that does processing  For example in my webpage   HTML  modal footer      lt div class  modal-footer form-footer  gt  lt br gt                 lt span class  caption  gt                   lt button id  PreLoadOrders  class  btn btn-md green btn-right  type  button  disabled gt Add to Cart amp nbsp   lt i class  fa fa-shopping-cart  gt  lt  i gt  lt  button gt                        lt button id  ClrHist  class  btn btn-md red btn-right  data-dismiss  modal  data-original-title    title  Return to Scan Order Entry  type  cancel  gt Cancel amp nbsp   lt i class  fa fa-close  gt  lt  i gt  lt  a gt                 lt  span gt         lt  div gt    jQUERY     document  ready function       Allow enter key to trigger preloadorders form       document  keypress function e                 if e which    13                 e preventDefault                       if     trigger   is   ok                            PreLoadOrders   trigger  click                    else                     return                        As you can see this submit performs processing which is why I have this jQuery for this modal  Now let s say I have another modal within this webpage but no processing is performed and since one modal is open at a time I put another   document  ready   in a global php js script that all pages get and I give the modal s close button  a class called    modal-close    HTML    lt div class  modal-footer caption  gt                   lt button type  submit  class  modal-close btn default  data-dismiss  modal  aria-hidden  true  gt Close lt  button gt               lt  div gt    jQuery  include global inc        document  ready function                Allow enter key to trigger a particular button anywhere on page           document  keypress function e                    if e which    13                       if     modal   is   visible                                    modal visible   find   modal-close   trigger  click

If you have few modal shown simultaneously you can specify target modal for in-modal button with attributes data-toggle and data-target    lt div class  modal fade in  id  sendMessageModal  tabindex  -1  role  dialog  aria-hidden  true  gt         lt div class  modal-dialog modal-sm  gt              lt div class  modal-content  gt                   lt div class  modal-header text-center  gt                        lt h4 class  modal-title  gt Modal Title lt  h4 gt                        lt small gt Modal Subtitle lt  small gt                   lt  div gt                   lt div class  modal-body  gt                        lt p gt Modal content text lt  p gt                   lt  div gt                   lt div class  modal-footer  gt                        lt button type  button  class  btn btn-default pull-left  data-toggle  modal  data-target   sendMessageModal  gt Close lt  button gt                        lt button type  button  class  btn btn-danger  data-toggle  modal  data-target   sendMessageModal  gt Send lt  button gt                   lt  div gt              lt  div gt         lt  div gt    lt  div gt    Somewhere outside the modal code you can have another toggle button    lt a href  index html   class  btn btn-default btn-xs  data-toggle  modal  data-target   sendMessageModal  gt Resend Message lt  a gt    User can t click in-modal toggle button while these button hidden and it correct works with option  modal  for attribute data-toggle  This scheme works automagicaly

Try specifying exactly the modal that the button should close with data-target   So your button should look like the following -   lt button class  close  data-dismiss  modal  data-target   myModal  gt    lt  button gt    Also  you should only need bootstrap modal js so you can safely remove the others   Edit  if this doesn t work then remove the visible-phone class and test it on your PC browser instead of the phone   This will show whether you are getting javascript errors or if its a compatibility issue for example   Edit  Demo code   lt html gt   lt head gt       lt title gt Test lt  title gt       lt link href   Content bootstrap min css  rel  stylesheet  type  text css    gt       lt script src   Scripts jquery-1 7 1 min js  type  text javascript  gt  lt  script gt       lt script src   Scripts bootstrap modal js  type  text javascript  gt  lt  script gt        lt script type  text javascript  gt          document  ready function              if  navigator userAgent match  Android i                 navigator userAgent match  webOS i                 navigator userAgent match  iPhone i                 navigator userAgent match  iPad i                 navigator userAgent match  iPod i                 navigator userAgent match  BlackBerry i                              myModal   modal  show                           myModalClose   click function                    myModal   modal  hide                               lt  script gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt       lt div class  modal hide  id  myModal  gt         lt div class  modal-header  gt           lt a class  close  id  myModalClose  gt    lt  a gt           lt h3 gt text introductory lt br gt want to navigate to    lt  h3 gt        lt  div gt        lt div class  modal-body  gt           lt ul class  nav  gt             lt li gt      list of links here  lt  li gt           lt  ul gt      lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt
