Hello good people of Daniweb :)

I am developing a site with codeigniter 1.2.2 and the latest version of bootstrap.

I am calling a modal window but the X and Close buttons don't close the window.

Tried alerting when clicking a button and I do get the alert but the window stays open.

Can someone please help?
