Answer 1

<button type='button' data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Open modal</button>

<!-- The Modal -->
<div class="modal" id="myModal">

try above this will open your modal ... you just had two closing tags of button ie </button>

Answer 2

Your code works perfectly by the way

 $('button[data-target="#myModal"]').on( "click", function() { console.log('clicked') }); $('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () { console.log('modal opened') })
