In it's current state Bootstrap always prevents the default action for a click
event on `[data-toggle="modal"]` elements
(see https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/js/modal.js#L233).
Instead this should only happen when the element is a link.
var $target = $($this.attr('data-target') || (href && href.replace(/.*(?=#[^\s]+$)/, ''))) //strip for ie7
var option = $target.data('modal') ? 'toggle' : $.extend({ remote: !/#/.test(href) && href }, $target.data(), $this.data())
- e.preventDefault()
+ if ($this.is('a')) e.preventDefault()
$target
.modal(option, this)
