Javascript in bootstrap

Question

I have some problem with the JavaScript in bootstrap. It working fine for css,but when i use javascript like modal or tooltips, it won't show. I don't know what went wrong, i've downloaded all the source code from http://getbootstrap.com/ and put

//css bootstrap
<link href="bootstrap-3.1.1-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

//js bootstrap
<script src="bootstrap-3.1.1-dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

So, what should i add/configure more?

Do you have jquery included in your JS? Pretty sure bootstrap needs it. — shredmill, May 14 '14 at 22:07
Hi @Nadia. Bootstrap should not be the cause of your problem. Please post some of your javascript code and tell us specifically what is wrong. We cannot debug code we can't see. — I wrestled a bear once., May 14 '14 at 22:07
Please add any JavaScript console errors, it would help others to debug this problem. — Jason Sperske, May 14 '14 at 22:08
@shredmill yes i have it, it's in ../js/tests/vendor/jquery.js folder. — Cheryl Perry, May 14 '14 at 22:13
@NadiaPerry it doesn't do anygood to have it on your server if you don't include it in your page. — I wrestled a bear once., May 14 '14 at 22:13
@adelphia i know Bootstrap is not the problem, it's my problem because i'm too silly and i can't even get this to work. Wait i post you guys the code i'm doing — Cheryl Perry, May 14 '14 at 22:14
@adelphia so i need to include `jquery.js` into my page? But it says on the startup page you only need to put `bootstrap.min.js` — Cheryl Perry, May 14 '14 at 22:16
Bootstrap will work fine without the .js files. They're only there to suppliment the CSS. However if you choose to use `bootstrap.js` you will also need to include jQuery. See my answer below. — I wrestled a bear once., May 14 '14 at 22:18

As Shredmil mentioned above, Bootstrap does require jQuery. Make sure it's included ABOVE bootstrap.min.js.

//css bootstrap
<link href="bootstrap-3.1.1-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

//js bootstrap
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bootstrap-3.1.1-dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
