I'm really new to bootstrap and I am trying to add a popup using Modals. I added the code and the scripts, but when you click on the button its not popping up. I can tell something is ing up because the background fades a little but a popup is not ing up. So I need a little bit of help figuring out why its not popping up.

My JavaScript links: 
<script src="js/jquery-1.10.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Code for Modals: 
<div class="modal hide fade" id="myModal">

           <div class="modal-header">
    <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
    <h3>Modal header</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body">
    <p>One fine body…</p>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <a href="#" class="btn">Close</a>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
  </div>
</div>

<a class="btn" data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" >Launch Modal</a>

• What version of bootstrap do you have? I've checked 2.3.2 click, and works fine. While it doesn't work on 3.2 - click – Artur Filipiak Commented Feb 7, 2015 at 23:11
• How can I get it to work with 3.2 @phillip100 – DAndre Ealy Commented Feb 7, 2015 at 23:19
• there is a HTML sample which works. – Artur Filipiak Commented Feb 7, 2015 at 23:20
• Its popping up, but its not letting me click on anything to close it or exits the popup. Do you think that has something to do with where its being placed on the page? @phillip100 – DAndre Ealy Commented Feb 7, 2015 at 23:35
• take look a at my answer – Artur Filipiak Commented Feb 7, 2015 at 23:42

This is a patibility issue v2.X vs v3.X

Bootstrap 3.0 New Classes & Elements

Modal markup has changed .modal-header .modal-body .modal-footer now get wrapped in .modal-content and .modal-dialog

Modal Migration

How to convert from a 2.x to 3.0 modal:

• remove .hide from the .modal (it's now hidden by default)
• wrap .modal-header .modal-body .modal-footer inside .modal-content
• wrap .modal-content inside .modal-dialog

Events are namespaced. For example to handle the modal 'show' event, use 'show.bs.modal'.

Reference

Bootstrap 3 modal example:

<a data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" class="btn btn-primary">Launch modal</a>
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
      <div class="modal-content">
        <div class="modal-header">
          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
          <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-body">
          Content for the dialog / modal goes here.
        </div>
        <div class="modal-footer">
          <a href="#" data-dismiss="modal" class="btn">Close</a>
          <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
</div>

JSFiddle

What I usually do for modals with just JavaScript and Bootstrap is to have an onClick event on the button that executes a JavaScript method that displays the modal.

In your HTML:

<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
<script>
    function myFunction(){
        $('#myModal').modal('show') 
    }
</script>

Just change the function name myFunction to the name you want and myModal to the id of your modal.

Here is the bootstrap docs, where the modal stuff is located, for future reference getbootstrap./javascript/
