Resolved Alert box issue

[spudmonkee]

Hey guys,

So I'm new to JavaScript etc. and at the moment I'm attempting to add a alert box which should fade in and out on pressing of the close button. The alert box appears however when clicking the cross nothing happens.

I'm using Bootstrap as a framework for this and have no idea how to get this to work.

So I've added the appropriate HTML code for the box to show however I really have no clue as to how I link in the JS files as it seems to fail whenever I try to do so.

Any ideas on where/what should be done in regards to the JavaScript?

Current code section:

<div class="bs-docs-example">
          <div class="alert alert-block alert-error fade in">
            <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">&times;</button>
            <h4 class="alert-heading">Oh snap! You got an error!</h4>
            <p>Change this and that and try again. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum.</p>
            <p>
              <a class="btn btn-danger" href="#">Take this action</a> <a class="btn" href="#">Or do this</a>
            </p>
          </div>

Just the JavaScript I need help with :S.

did you donwload the jQuery and bootstrap files and put them on your web server?

did you link them in the head section of yoru page like something like this?

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

no problem. I'm one of the many many people that posted asking how to show and hide a div once, even though there are a million examples out there . I think we learn more from failure than sucess, so it only gets better!
