When you click the Add New Degree Code or click on the edit (pencil) icon, the modal is shown and, in the case of editing, the fields are populated with the correct values from that degree's line. All that works perfectly, but the form won't submit. \r\n\r\nHere is my event handler for the SUBMIT button:\r\n\r\n```javascript\r\n$( '#DEGREE_FORM' ).submit( function() {\r\n\t$( '#DEGREE_ENTRY' ).modal( 'hide' );\t\r\n\treturn submitEventHandler();\r\n\t});\r\n```\r\nThe submitEventHandler() function is tested and debugged code used elsewhere in the site — outside of modals — to ensure that all required fields have values before allowing a form submission.\r\n\r\nWhen I click the SUBMIT button, the modal does not dismiss and the form does not submit. Is this a bug in your code or mine? If mine, have you any suggested remedies?\r\n\r\n![modal screenshot](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4976640/8066536/00c7995c-0e9d-11e5-9253-7e520f2e4acc.png) "}}
