How do you specify the primary and secondary actions for a Bootstrap modal window?

Question

I\'m using Twitter\'s Bootstrap modal functionality. When someone clicks submit on my form, I\'m testing to see if they have checked any of the available options:

Well, the problem is that right now Bootstrap does not have any proper callbacks for their action buttons. Therefore, you have to do this in a roundabout way and create your own. Hope this helps!

Here's a JS fiddle showing it work: http://jsfiddle.net/iwasrobbed/rYLWz/3/

And here is the code:

HTML File

<form>
<ul class="inputs-list">
    <li>
      <label>
        <input type="checkbox" name="optionsCheckboxes" value="option1" />
        <span>Option 1</span>
      </label>
    </li>
    <li>
      <label>
        <input type="checkbox" name="optionsCheckboxes" value="option2" />
        <span>Option 2</span>
      </label>
    </li>
</ul>
<div class="actions">
    <a href="#" class="save-button btn large primary">Save changes &raquo;</a>

    <!-- Hide the real submit button /-->
    <input type="submit" class="hidden">
</div>
</form>

<div id="my-modal" class="modal hide fade">
    <div class="modal-header">
        <a href="#" class="close">&times;</a>
        <h3>Are you sure?</h3>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
        <p>You haven&rsquo;t selected any options.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <a href="#" class="okay-button btn primary">Okay &raquo;</a>
        <a href="#" class="go-back-button btn secondary">Go back</a>
    </div>
</div> <!-- /modal -->

JS File

$(document).ready(function() {

    // Verify if checkboxes were checked.
    // If they weren't, show a modal
    $('a.save-button').click(function() {
        if ($("input:checked").length === 0) {

            $('#my-modal').modal({
                show: 'true',
                backdrop: 'true',
                keyboard: 'true'
            });
        } else {
            $('form').submit(); 
        }

        // prevent click jump
        return false;
    });

    // Let's attach a listener on form submission
    $('form').submit(function() {
        alert('We submitted the form!');
    });

    // Hide modal if "Go back" is pressed
    $('#my-modal .go-back-button').click(function() {
        $('#my-modal').modal('hide');
        alert('We went back to the form');
    });

    // Hide modal if "Okay" is pressed
    $('#my-modal .okay-button').click(function() {
        $('#my-modal').modal('hide');
        $('form').submit();
    });

});

I added a little CSS as well:

ul.inputs-list li {
    margin-left: 10px;
}
.hidden {
    display: none   
}
