## Modals
Modals are popups for providing important information before continuing further.
To create such dialogs/pop-ups on the top of current page Bootstrap provides Modal plugin.
#### Code Example :
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- jQuery library -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- Latest compiled JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Triggering the modal popup -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>
<!-- Modal popup -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal Content -->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" class="close">&times;</button>

<div class="modal-footer">
