Modal Not Popping Up When Clicking Button

I'm doing a walkthrough project to learn bootstrap, everything has been going well however now at a part of the project which I followed perfectly to create a signup modal, the button is not causing the modal to popup.

I have double checked that all my bootstrap links are in the right order, triple checked spelling errors, everything seems to be fine, I see no reason as to why the modal wouldn't work.

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<button class="btn btn-success btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#signUpModal">Sign Up!</button>

<div class="modal" tabindex="-1" id="signUpModal">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>Modal body text goes here.</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Solution

  • Change this :

    <div class="modal" tabindex="-1" id="signUpModal">

    To this :

    <div class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" id="signUpModal" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="signUpModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

    I just don't understand why it doesn't work without the .fade class, since the documentation says it's possible...
