Opening (Showing) Bootstrap Modal Popup Window using jQuery
Inside the jQuery document ready event handler, the Button has been assigned a jQuery Click event handler.
Inside this Click event handler, first the title and body values are set in their respective HTML DIVs and the Bootstrap Modal Popup Window will be opened (shown) using show function.
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#btnShowPopup").on('click', function () {
            var title = "Greetings";
            var body = "Welcome to ASPSnippets.com";
            $("#MyPopup .modal-title").html(title);
            $("#MyPopup .modal-body").html(body);
            $("#MyPopup").modal("show");
        });
    });
</script>
