[Modal] Noob Question: I've defined my modal, how do I trigger the thing to show?

I've copied and pasted most of this from the FUI documentation, and I've no real clue what I'm doing wrong.

This section of code is inserted into my page using a Cold Fusion CFIF statement if the logon checks (password, etc) fail. I was expecting the script at the bottom to trigger the modal to appear, but it doesn't and I've no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I'm pretty good at basic HTML and ColdFusion, but relatively inexperienced with CSS and JS. FUI is working fine for me in most other respects though. Anyway, here's the code snippet. Any advice appreciated please.

<!--login failed error message--> <cfoutput> <div class="ui modal"> <div class="header">LOGON FAILED</div> <div class="content"> <p>Your login failed for the following reason(s):</p> <div class="ui inverted bulleted list"> #loginfailreason# </div> </div> <div class="actions"> <div class="ui approve button">OK</div> </div> </div> </cfoutput> <script> $('.mini.inverted.modal') .modal('show') ; </script>

I'm a total noob and figure it out. Sorry to waste your times folks.
