How to hide Bootstrap modal with javascript?

With the modal open in the browser window, use the browser’s console to try

$('#myModal').modal('hide');

If it works (and the modal closes) then you know that your close Javascript is not being sent from the server to the browser correctly.

If it doesn’t work then you need to investigate further on the client what is happening. Eg make sure that there aren’t two elements with the same id. Eg does it work the first time after page load but not the second time?

Browser’s console: firebug for firefox, the debugging console for Chrome or Safari, etc.
