Bootstrap modal disappearing as soon as it loads but leaving the backdrop in Safari

Question

I'm using a bootstrap modal, it launches as soon as the page is loaded. It works fine in every browser except Safari. The modal will display for as long as a the fade animation then the modal box will disappear leaving only the backdrop and preventing the site from being used.

I've verified bootstrap is only being loaded once.

using bootstrap 3.1.1

Answer 1

For the sake of completion there was another widget on the page that was conflicting with the bootstrap modal only on Safari.
