Your example doesn't have jQuery included.

You must include jQuery before including Bootstrap.

Also, Bootstrap Modal's need to either be toggled by some kind of control on the page, or by JavaScript: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals-usage

via JavaScript:

$('.modal').modal('show')

Or via attributes on a control:

Launch modal

EDIT: If you do this, you need to specify the target as the ID of the modal div
