Bootstrap modal – close modal when “call to action” button is clicked

You need to bind the modal hide call to the onclick event.

Assuming you are using jQuery you can do that with:

$('#closemodal').click(function() {
    $('#modalwindow').modal('hide');
});

Also make sure the click event is bound after the document has finished loading:

$(function() {
   // Place the above code inside this block
});
