Using bootstrap-modal as Backbone.js view



I am attempting to create a Backbone.js view based on a Twitter bootstrap-modal, which makes use of Backbone's automatic event delegation via the events attribute of the view.





Unfortunately, bootstrap-modal seems to break Backbone's event delegation as it clones the view HTML before displaying the modal:







that.$element

.appendTo(document.body)

.show()







My view:







App.Views.ProjectsNav ||= {}



class App.Views.ProjectsNav.NewProjectView extends Backbone.View

events: {

'click .save': 'save',

'shown': 'shown'

}



save: (e) ->

...

false



shown: () ->

App.Helpers.Forms.setFocus($(@el), true)

false



render: () ->

$(@el).html(ich.nav_edit_project_template(@model.toJSON()))

@$('.modal').modal({'show': true, 'keyboard': true, 'backdrop': true})

@







The corresponding (Mustache) HTML template:







<div class="modal hide" style="display: none; ">

<div class="modal-header">

<a href="#" class="close">×</a>

<h3>New Project</h3>

</div>

<div class="modal-body form-stacked">

<label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" name="name" value="{{name}}"/><input type="hidden" name="lock_version" value="{{lock_version}}"/>

</div>

<div class="modal-footer">

<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="save btn primary">Create</a>

<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="cancel btn secondary">Cancel</a>

</div>

</div>







Neither save nor shown are called when the respective events are triggered.





Any ideas?

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
