How to get twitter bootstrap modal to close (after initial launch)

Question

I\'m very much a noob, so I think I\'m overseeing something (probably obvious) with twitter bootstrap modal. What I am trying to do is get a modal to launch only on mobile.

Answer 1

$('#myModal').modal('hide') should do it

Answer 2

According the documentaion hide / toggle should work. But it don't.

Here is how I did it

$('#modal-id').modal('toggle'); //Hide the modal dialog
$('.modal-backdrop').remove(); //Hide the backdrop
$("body").removeClass( "modal-open" ); //Put scroll back on the Body

Answer 3

Add the class hide to the modal

<!-- Modal Demo -->
<div class="modal hide" id ="myModal" aria-hidden="true" >

Javascript Code

 <!-- Use this to hide the modal necessary for loading and closing the modal-->
 <script>
     $(function(){
         $('#closeModal').click(function(){
              $('#myModal').modal('hide');
          });
      });
 </script>

 <!-- Use this to load the modal necessary for loading and closing the modal-->
 <script>
     $(function () {
         $('#myModal').modal('show');
     });
  </script>

Answer 4

.modal('hide') manually hides a modal. Use following code to close your bootstrap model

$('#myModal').modal('hide');

Take a look at working codepen here

Or

Try here

$(function () {
    $(".custom-close").on('click', function() {
        $('#myModal').modal('hide');
    });
});

<!-- Button trigger modal -->

      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
