Solution

  • Include your scripts to <head></head> and then use alert()or whatever you library call you are making,

    As you are calling the library functions before loading library

    $('#openAlert').click(function () {
          $('#le-alert').addClass('in'); //
    .................
    

    should be *after*

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/assets/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
    

    Remember: You need to include JS library first and then you can use the functions as $ is to be initialized
