title: how to create Bootstrap static modal that does NOT dissapear and loads by default
body: <p>Trying to create a view in codeignitor for a log in page that permanently displays a Bootstrap Modal. I am able to get the modal pop up window by adding the button, but I do not know how to get the modal to display by default when the page  loads.</p>
  
  <p>I copied and pasted the following from the docs but nothing shows on the page, it only shows up in the source.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="modal fade"&gt;
    &lt;div class="modal-dialog"&gt;
      &lt;div class="modal-content"&gt;
        &lt;div class="modal-header"&gt;
          &lt;button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&amp;times;&lt;/button&gt;       
  
      &lt;h4 class="modal-title"&gt;Modal title&lt;/h4&gt;
       &lt;/div&gt;
       &lt;div class="modal-body"&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;One fine body&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div class="modal-footer"&gt;
      &lt;button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal"&gt;Close&lt;/button&gt;
      &lt;button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"&gt;Save changes&lt;/button&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /.modal-content --&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /.modal-dialog --&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
