Disallow Twitter Bootstrap modal window from closing

I am creating a modal window using Twitter Bootstrap. The default behavior is if you click outside the modal area, the modal will automatically close. I would like to disable that -- i.e. not close the modal window when clicking outside the modal.

Can someone share jQuery code to do this?

jquery twitter-bootstrap modal-dialog mouseclick-event

If you already have initialized the modal window, then you may want to reset the options with $('#myModal').removeData("modal").modal({backdrop: 'static', keyboard: false}) to make sure it will apply the new options.
