Twitter Bootstrap Modal - IsShown

Question

Hello Fellow SO users,

Got this problem where i auto populate a modal box.

Sometimes it already has content, so i tried doing a hide/show on each request. But the show is fired before the hide function is done, so it breaks the script.

I can't do a bind to "hidden", because if it's the first time - it won't fire the hidden function from bootstrap.

Using modal('true') i can see the object has a isShown element, but does anyone know how i can access it?

The console.log shows this:

$backdrop     [div.modal-backdrop]  $element     [div#modal-from-dom.modal]  isShown     true  settings     Object { backdrop="static", keyboard=true, show=false}  hide     function()  show     function()  toggle     function()  __proto__     Object { toggle=function(), show=function(), hide=function()}

$("element").data()['bs.modal'].isShown
