jQuery .load() bootstrap modal and show

Instead of $($this).modal({ show: true }); try $(this).modal('show');

To hide the modal, you can use $(this).modal('hide');


$(function(){
  var url = "url of the modal window content";
  $('.my-modal-cont').load(url,function(result){
  $('#myModal').modal({show:true});
});
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Modal Window Container -->
<div class="my-modal-base">
	<div class="my-modal-cont"></div>
</div>

<!-- Modal Window content -->
