  <p>modalEl is the modal element in DOM.
  Modal is completely rendered in the with some dynamic content.</p>
  
  <p>I want to hide the modal, do some work on application and would like to render that same modal later again without initialising the any new modal.</p>
  
  <p>How do i do that???</p>
  
  <p>I have removed <code>data-dismiss="modal"</code> attribute from the button.</p>
  
  <p>but the following not working in my case</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(modalEl).modal('hide');
  
  $(modalEl).modal('show');
  </code></pre>
