Use Bootstrap Modal to confirm action

Question

I have a form which I wish to submit but once the user clicks the submit button it will show a twitter bootstrap modal which will either let the form continue on to be processed or canceled back to the form page. Is it possible to turn the regular javascript confirm into the bootstrap modal?

<form action="http://localhost.testing/modal-processing.php" class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="GET">
    <label>Landlord<span class="mandatory">*</span></label>
    <select class="form-control input-sm chosen chzn-select" tabindex="1" data-placeholder="Choose a landlord" data-rule-required="true" name="landlord_id" id="landlord_id">
        <option value=""></option>
        <option value="31" >Liam Lawlor</option>
        <option value="34" >Damian Lavelle</option>
        <option value="35" >Mick Lally</option>
        <option value="36" >Joanne Lavelle</option>
        <option value="37" >Liam Lacey</option>
        <option value="38" >Laura Luney</option>
        <option value="39" >Lenihan Enterprises</option>
    </select>

    <!-- modal caller -->
    <a href="#modal-dialog" class="modal-toggle" data-toggle="modal" data-href="http://localhost.testing/modal-processing.php" data-modal-type="confirm" data-modal-title="Delete Property" data-modal-text="Are you sure you want to delete {$property.address_string}?" data-modal-confirm-url="{$base_url}residential-lettings/properties/do-delete/property/{$property.id}"><i class="icon-trash"></i> Modal Submit</a>

    <!-- proper submit -->
    <input type="submit">
</form>

You can use the Bootstrap modal as a confirm by enabling a link/button (ie:'btnYes') in the modal that is used to trigger form submission via jQuery...

$('#btnYes').click(function() {
    // handle form processing here  
    $('form').submit(); 
});
