title: How can I stop a bootstrap modal from opening?
body: <p>I have a button, like so:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;a data-toggle="modal" href="#influencerModal" class="btn btn-primary influencer-card"&gt;Influencer Profile&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>When I click it, I want the modal to not open, so that I can ajax some content into it, then manually open it with <code>.modal()</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Not seeing many helpful items online about this idea of stopping it AFTER the button to open it has been clicked.</p>
  
  <p>Any questions, just ask below.</p>
