Can you get the 'x' (close) button on a bootstrap modal to call a javascript function instead of closing the...

I'm implementing a bootstrap modal and need to change the functionality of the 'close' button (the small x in the upper right corner). I want that to call a javascript function instead of closing the modal. This is for a research project and not a production web site (I realize this would likely always be a bad idea on a live site).

          Yeah, you just have to use the modal's 'hide' event. See the docs.



          $("#exampleModal").on("hide.bs.modal", function(event){
          event.preventDefault();
          //do whatever here
          });
