jsFiddle for this question

I am currently using bootstrap modal, which is a jQuery plugin to create a popup box. (If anyone wants to check out the very short documentation, here is a link to it - it's very short, so only takes a minute).

Unfortunately, I am having a couple problems:

1. I need to be able to define the size of the modal pop-up box. I tried the following, but it does not display correctly:

   
   
   

   <div class=modal id=myModal style=width: 800px; height: 900px;>




2. I need to be able to hide the modal by default. Currently, it displays as soon as the page loads. I tried the following, but it does not seem to hide correctly:

   
   
   

   $(document).ready(function() { $('#myModal').modal(hide); });

Any idea how I might be able to resolve these issues?
