Question: I have a button that toggles a bootstrap modal.

```
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">

```

I want to do the same thing with a jquery function. Is this possible?

Answer: 
give your button id and hide it:

**CSS:**

```
#btnTrigger
{
display:none;
}

```

**HTML:**

```
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" id="btnTrigger" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">

```

and on someother event or condition just click it programmatically:

**JQuery:**

```
$('#btnTrigger').click();

```

In Result, popup will be displayed.
Just a simple `$("#myModal").modal()` in any function of your choice
