Play with Bootbox

Use with the Bootbox.js plugin.

<!-- Include bootbox.js -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootbox.js/4.2.0/bootbox.min.js"></script>

<button class="btn btn-default" id="loginButton">Login</button>

<!-- The login modal. Don't display it initially -->
<form id="loginForm" method="post" class="form-horizontal" style="display: none;">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-md-3 control-label">Username</label>
        <div class="col-md-5">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-md-3 control-label">Password</label>
        <div class="col-md-5">
            <input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" />
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-5 col-md-offset-3">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Login</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#loginForm')
        .bootstrapValidator({
            feedbackIcons: {
                valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
                invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
                validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
            },
            fields: {
                username: {
                    validators: {
                        notEmpty: {
                            message: 'The username is required'
                        }
                    }
                },
                password: {
                    validators: {
                        notEmpty: {
                            message: 'The password is required'
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        });

    // Login button click handler
    $('#loginButton').on('click', function() {
        bootbox
            .dialog({
                title: 'Login',
                message: $('#loginForm'),
                show: false // We will show it manually later
            })
            .on('shown.bs.modal', function() {
                $('#loginForm')
                    .show()                                 // Show the login form
                    .bootstrapValidator('resetForm', true); // Reset form
            })
            .on('hide.bs.modal', function(e) {
                // Bootbox will remove the modal (including the body which contains the login form)
                // after hiding the modal
                // Therefor, we need to backup the form
                $('#loginForm').hide().appendTo('body');
            })
            .modal('show');
    });
});

If you want to use Ajax to submit the form, and then close the modal, we can use the success.form.bv event:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#loginForm')
        .bootstrapValidator({
            ...
        })
        .on('success.form.bv', function(e) {
            // Prevent form submission
            e.preventDefault();

            var $form = $(e.target),                        // The form instance
                bv    = $form.data('bootstrapValidator');   // BootstrapValidator instance

            // Use Ajax to submit form data
            $.post($form.attr('action'), $form.serialize(), function(result) {
                // ... Process the result ...

                // Hide the modal containing the form
                $form.parents('.bootbox').modal('hide');
            }, 'json');
        });

    // Login button click handler
    $('#loginButton').on('click', function() {
        // Same code as above
        ...
    });
});
