use the object to call...
<a href="#" onclick='$("#myModal").modal("show");'>Try This</a>
or if you using ajax to show that modal after get result, this is work for me...
$.ajax({ url: "YourUrl",
type: "POST", data: "x=1&y=2&z=3",
cache: false, success: function(result){
// Your Function here
$("#myModal").modal("show");
}
});
