How to automatically close Bootstrap 3 modal after time period [duplicate]

Answer 1

I'm not pretty sure about your html so I did a complete example:

html:

Open Modal


    

        

            

                x
                
Header
            
            

                Modal Content
            
        
 
    

js:

$(function(){
    $('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function(){
        var myModal = $(this);
        clearTimeout(myModal.data('hideInterval'));
        myModal.data('hideInterval', setTimeout(function(){
            myModal.modal('hide');
        }, 3000));
    });
});

The main difference with your code:

1. I set a time for timeout (3000)
2. I set myModal variable inside callback
