How to properly set up a modal to appear when a button is pressed using bootstrap?

I am trying to get a modal to appear when the button below is clicked using bootstrap. I've tested it already without the "modal hide fade" and the modal appears on the page like it should. There must be something wrong with the way I have set up the button, but I'm not sure what it is. Your help is appreciated.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">
</button>
<div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade" role="dialog">
<div class= "modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">
×
</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">
modal headers
</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">
Close
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Remove hide class from <div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade" role="dialog">
So it should look like <div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
See here, seems working well - https://jsfiddle.net/VaTz88/arkbqe9j/

Modal dialog not closing by default close x button

I have following modal dialog coding,but when i click [X],the dialog doesn't closed. I invoke the dialog from button and the JavaScript function as follow;
$('#apply_Compensation_Leave').show();
Modal code
<div class="modal" id="apply_Compensation_Leave" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="messageModelLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"><li class="fa fa-times"/></button>
<h3 style="font-size: 17px;">Apply Leave</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Did i miss anything?
Adding Javascript file..all javascript functions in seperate .js file.
EmpcompensationAdapter.method('getActionButtonsHtml', function(id,data) {
var html = "";
html = '<div style="width:80px;"><img class="tableActionButton" src="BASE_URL/apply.png" style="cursor:pointer;" rel="tooltip" title="Apply Leave" onclick="modJs.applyleaves();return false;"></img></div>';
return html;
});
EmpcompensationAdapter.method('applyleaves', function() {
$('#apply_Compensation_Leave').show();
});
EmpcompensationAdapter.method('showLeaveView', function() {
$('#apply_Compensation_Leave').hide();
});
When i click Back button, by calling the function showLeaveView();

Apart from adding $('#apply_Compensation_Leave').modal('show');, you need to change your HTML also. <li> tag should not be put without <ul>. It's not valid markup at all. Try putting × in your button HTML.
<div class="modal" id="apply_Compensation_Leave" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="messageModelLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3 style="font-size: 17px;">Apply Leave</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a Demo
Or you can provide valid markup like this <ul><li class="fa fa-times"></li></ul>
Here is a Demo with the valid markup.

The bootstrap Modal is invoked by $('#apply_Compensation_Leave').modal('show');

Try this demo.
You are opening your modal using JS.
You can use this.But this has wrong markup as #Alorika Mentioned
<div class="modal" id="apply_Compensation_Leave" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="messageModelLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">
</button>
<h3 style="font-size: 17px;">Apply Leave</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript
$('#apply_Compensation_Leave').show();

Try this layout :
<div class="modal fade bs-example-modal-sm" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel"> <center>Title here </center> </h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
...Body here...
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" id="Okbtn" class="btn btn-danger" data-dismiss="modal"> CANCEL</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Bootstrap 4 - Avoid modal closing for on-screen click

In rails 4, I am using bootstrap plugin. When I am using modal feature there is close event issue which I need to solve. When modal opens, it should get close when I click on 'x' icon or 'Esc' button otherwise it should be open always. Right now when I click on the screen which excludes the modal form area it will get close.
In main.erb,
<div class="modal fade" id="main-lightbox-container" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="main-lightbox-container" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
In form.js.erb,
var content = "<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial=>"form", :locals=>{:user=>#user})) %>";
var container = $('#main-lightbox-container');
container.find('.modal-content').html(content);
container.modal({});
Here I am loading modal form via ajax request. How can I fix this on-screen click issue? Please help me.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"> </script>
<div data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modalid">Open</div>
<div class="modal fade" id="modalid" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true" data-backdrop="static" data-keyboard="false">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" style="background-color: #F0F0F0">

</div>
</div>

<div id="myModal" data-keyboard="false" data-backdrop="static">
just add data-keyboard="False" and data-backdrop="static" it works for me.

How to detect handlebars-created non-initialized modal closal

I am creating, upon the press of a button, a modal window that comes from an handlebars template. At the document's load, the modal window is NOT initialized so you can't tie an event to it such as :
$(".modal").attr("someAttr").change(function(){});
Here is the code of the modal window and the hidden button that can be called to show the window once it's initialized.
<script id="informationModalTemplate" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
<div class="modal fade informationModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">{{Title}}</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<textarea id="informationTextContainer" name="informationTextContainer">{{Content}}</textarea>
<a onclick="" class="button button-rounded button-reveal button-medium button-green tright"><i class="icon-thumbs-up"></i><span>OK</span></a>
<a onclick="" class="button button-rounded button-reveal button-medium button-red tright"><i class="icon-thumbs-down"></i><span>Cancel</span></a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</script>
Can someone please tell me how to detect when such a window gets closed?

Can twitter bootstrap been set nesting?

I want to make a sub modal in a main modal.
<!-- Button to trigger modal -->
Launch demo modal
<!-- Modal -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3 id="myModalLabel">Modal header</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
Main contant
<!-- Button to trigger modal -->
Launch sub demo modal
<!-- Sub Modal -->
<div id="subModal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3 id="myModalLabel">Modal header</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
Sub contant
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
The problem is that when I close the sub modal,the main modal was closed together.
Can I set the close event for every modal on one's own?

You don't need to have each modal nested on the parent modal. To you archive what you need, separe the modals, so each node modal will have it own close data-dissmis attribute, and when triggered it will dissmis only that modal. (And as you need to work with submodals, it will fit your needs, because even with separete html trees, the submodal will be called above the main modal, or the first one)
Heres the fiddle example ( The HTML are a bit desorganized, sory about that ):

<div class="container">
<h3>Modal Example</h3>
<!-- Button to trigger modal -->

<div class="modal-body">

<button class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>
As i said, you going to create two modals separated, and each one will have its own data-dismiss button, and when them get called, they will just close that specific modal, and as you can see in my example they work as submodals.
