Bootstrap 3.1.1 doesn't work on MVC3 View page

Question

I am new in MVC.NET and I have this problem:

I'm trying to create a simple button that shows a Bootstrap modal dialog but it doesn't work. The bootstrap version is 3.1.1 and jquery 1.9.0.

_Layout.cshtml references:

<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/js/bootstrap.min.js")"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/js/jquery-1.9.0.js")"></script>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/css/bootstrap.min.css")"/>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css")" />

Index.cshtml code:

<div class="container">
    <h2>Example of creating Modals with Twitter Bootstrap</h2>
    <div id="example" class="modal fade" style="display: none;" aria-hidden="true">
        <div class="modal-dialog">
            <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header"> 
                <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
                 <h3>This is a Modal Heading</h3>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-body">
                <h4>Text in a modal</h4>
                <p>You can add some text here.</p>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-footer"> 
                <a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Call to action</a>
                <a href="#" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Close</a>
            </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <p> <a data-toggle="modal" href="#example" class="btn btn-primary btn-large">Launch demo modal</a>
    </p>
</div>

The .css file is loaded because I can see that the styles are applied but bootstrap.js or jquery aren't and the dialog doesn't show up.

Answer 1

I found a solution. JQuery library must be declared before bootstrap library. It seems that there is an order to follow or something like that.
