How to get Twitter Bootstrap Modal's invoker element?

Question

I have got a `a` element for invoking modal: ``` Launch Modal ``` And, say this is my modal: ``` ``` I can bind functions to events fired by modal: ``` $('#myModal').on('hidden', function () { // do something… }) ``` My question is: How can i access the `a` element -which invoked the modal- from my event subscriber function?

Accepted Answer

It was solved in Bootstrap 3.0.0 thanks to `event.relatedTarget`.

```
$('#your-modal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
  var $invoker = $(e.relatedTarget);
});
```
