Question

I am opening a modal but when I do this the page behind the modal goes very dark. Can someone explain how I can change this. For example how could I make it so there’s just a very light shading on the background.

I also notice that when I click the background then my modal disappears. Is there a way I can remove this functionality. I would like my modal to only go away when the user clicks submit or close on the modal itself.

What your looking for is http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals modal backdrop static to disable closing on background click.

Also for the backdrop darkness adjust the

.modal-backdrop, .modal-backdrop.fade.in {
    opacity: 0;
}
