How to get twitter bootstrap modal to close (after initial launch)
Solution 1:
$('#myModal').modal('hide')
should do it
Solution 2:
I had problems closing the bootstrap modal dialog, if it was opened with:
$('#myModal').modal('show');
I solved this problem opening the dialog by the following link:
<a href="#myModal" data-toggle="modal">Open my dialog</a>
Do not forget the initialization:
$('#myModal').modal({show: false});
I also used the following attributes for the closing button:
data-dismiss="modal" data-target="#myModal"
Solution 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>
Solution 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');
});
});
