Close button on alert dosen´t work

Question

I´m triggering an alert by jQuery with Joomla.renderMessages. The alert comes up, but won´t close when I press the close button!?

I´m using a custom template, I´ve made from scratch

I´ve search for answers without luck. according to this - https://docs.joomla.org/Display_error_messages_and_notices, it dosen´t seem like I need anything included in the template files, but I have the feeling that I need some javascript to make it work?

Joomla.renderMessages({'success': ['Du kan ikke gemme en tom note']});

Answer 1

The alerts derive from Bootstrap, therefore when developing a custom template, you need to make sure you include Bootstrap, and of course, jQuery.

You can do so by adding the following lines to your template's index.php file:

JHtml::_('jquery.framework');
JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
