internet explorer - Modal not opening in IE

Question

I'm trying to make modals pop up with info about certain places on a map. Here is the code:

<area href="#modal_starthere" data-toggle="modal" title="Start Here" shape="poly" coords="431, 785, 500, 785, 501, 839, 432, 838" />

And then later:

<div id="modal_starthere" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
        <h4>Start Tour Here</h4>
    </div>  
    <div class="modal-body">
        <div class="row-fluid">
            <div class="span12" style="overflow: auto; height: 425px;">
                <p> <!-- FUTURE CONTENT --></p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

It works great in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE (10) the background goes grey but the modal does not display. Any ideas? I wonder if maybe data-toggle isn't supported in IE.

Answer 1

IE does not support the "fade" class for modals, by taking out fade i lost the animation, but the modal displays in all 3 browsers now. I found the answer here: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/3672
