How to toggle a bootstrap alert on and off with button click?

Question

I want to display an alert box multiple times with a button click event without having to refresh the page but the alert box only shows up once. If I want to show the alert box

Answer 1

I just used a model variable to show/hide the dialog and removed the data-dismiss="alert"

eg

    
    Error  !  {{vm.exception}}

works for me and stops the need to go out to jquery
