In Twitter Bootstrap, how do I unbind an event from the closing of a modal dialog?

Question

I have a function that is bound to the action of hiding a modal dialog.

I\'m using code similar to the accepted answer to this question.

$(\'#myModal\')

You can do something like to unbind all events tied to the modal element:

Unbind all events in the modal:

/* First option */
$('#myModal').on('hidden', function (e) {
    $(e.currentTarget).unbind(); // or $(this)        
});

/* Second option is to call it directly when needed */
$('#myModal').unbind();

The Bootrap modal also have specific events tied to it, so you can also specify which event(s) you want to unbind.

/* Events are 'hidden', 'hide', 'show', 'shown' */
$('#myModal').unbind(/* specific event here */);

If you wish to remove events tied to the content of the modal, you can simply just empty the elements within $('#myModal').empty() and unbind those elements appropriately.
