title: Implementing Twitter Bootstrap Modal
body: <p>I'm pretty new to coding, so please pardon my inexperience.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently working on making a website, and want to have button modals. I can't seem to get it working, and have experimented with it for at least a few hours. This is what I have written in my html file, which was taken from the Twitter Bootstrap site:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a class="btn" data-toggle="modal" href="#myModal" &gt;Launch Modal&lt;/a&gt;
  
  &lt;div class="modal" id="myModal"&gt;
    &lt;div class="modal-header"&gt;
      &lt;a class="close" data-dismiss="modal"&gt;×&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;h3&gt;Modal header&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="modal-body"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;One fine body…&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="modal-footer"&gt;
      &lt;a href="#" class="btn"&gt;Close&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href="#" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;Save changes&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I missing something here? Do I need add something else? The bootstrap site said to "call the modal via javascript", but I didn't know where to put the $('#myModal').modal(options). I placed it in the .html AND the .js file, but neither attempt worked.</p>
  
  <p>The .html file already has     </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="js/bootstrap-modal.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>along with all the other plugins, but this doesn't seem to be doing anything. It's also worth noting that I am working locally on my computer.</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure this is a very easy question, but ANY help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:I managed to get it working. Looked like my problem was that I was sourcing bootstrap-modal.js, when really I only had bootstrap.js. I made a new file called boostrap-modal.js with the code, and it worked fine.</p>
  
  <p>However, I'm still unable to get the fade in transition. I've used the bootstrap-transition.js files but still can't seem to get it down. Additional help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
