Modal Popup not working

i tried to pop up a view using modal. i couldnt manage what am i doing wrong?

here is my view

<?php use yii\helpers\Html;

$this->registerJs(

//~ 'jQuery.noConflict();


'&#036;(&quot;document&quot;).ready(function(&#036;){


&#036;(&quot;body&quot;).on(&quot;click&quot;, &quot;.seat&quot;, function(e) {


	  var url = &#036;(this).attr(&quot;href&quot;);


	  &#036;(&quot;#seatModal&quot;).find(&quot;.modal-body&quot;).load( url );


	  &#036;(&quot;#seatModal&quot;).modal({ backdrop: &quot;static&quot;, keyboard: true });


	  e.preventDefault();


	  return false;


	});


	});'

);

[size=2]<?php [/size]

	[size=2]echo Html::a(Yii::t('app', ' {modelClass}', [[/size]


			'modelClass' =&gt; 'Select City',


			]), ['site/city'], ['class' =&gt; 'btn btn-link seat']


			[size=2]); [/size]

?>

<div class="modal fade " id="seatModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

  &lt;div class=&quot;modal-dialog&quot;&gt;


    &lt;div class=&quot;modal-content&quot;&gt;


      &lt;div class=&quot;modal-header&quot;&gt;


        &lt;button type=&quot;button&quot; class=&quot;close&quot; data-dismiss=&quot;modal&quot; aria-label=&quot;Close&quot;&gt;&lt;span aria-hidden=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&amp;times;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/button&gt;


        &lt;h4 class=&quot;modal-title&quot; id=&quot;myModalLabel&quot;&gt;Seat Selection&lt;/h4&gt;


      &lt;/div&gt;


      &lt;div class=&quot;modal-body&quot;&gt;


        


      &lt;/div&gt;


      &lt;div class=&quot;modal-footer&quot;&gt;


        


        &lt;button type=&quot;button&quot; class=&quot;btn btn-default&quot; data-dismiss=&quot;modal&quot;&gt;Close&lt;/button&gt;


      &lt;/div&gt;


    &lt;/div&gt;


  &lt;/div&gt;


&lt;/div&gt;

Controller

public function actionCity()


{


	//~ &#036;this-&gt;layout= &quot;null&quot;;


	&#036;model = new Locations();


     return &#036;this-&gt;renderAjax('select_city', [


            'model' =&gt; &#036;model,


        ]);


}

and this is the view that i want to popup

&lt;?php &#036;form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;col-md-6&quot;&gt;


&lt;?php 


&#036;items = ArrayHelper::map(Locations::find()-&gt;all(), 'id', 'name');


echo &#036;form-&gt;field(&#036;model, 'name')-&gt;dropDownList(&#036;items)


?&gt;    


&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;form-group&quot;&gt;








&lt;?php echo Html::a(Yii::t('app', ' {modelClass}', [


						'modelClass' =&gt; 'OK',


					]), ['site/choose'], ['class' =&gt; 'btn btn-success	']


					


					); ?&gt; 





&lt;/div&gt;





&lt;?php ActiveForm::end(); ?&gt;

</div>

thanks
