Bootbox validation

Question

I am trying to create a modal using Bootbox. I have the modal popup and ask you to fill in some data. I am then trying to do validation so when they click on save, it checks to just make sure the fields are filled in.

How can I prevent the modal from closing when clicking save if validation fails?

bootbox.dialog(header + content, [{
    "label": "Save",
    "class": "btn-primary",
    "callback": function() {

        title = $("#title").val();
        description = $("#description").val();
        icon = $("#icon").val();
        href = $("#link").val();
        newWindow = $("#newWindow").val();
        type = $("#type").val();
        group = $("#group").val();

            if (!title){ $("#titleDiv").attr('class', 'control-group error'); } else {
                addMenu(title, description, icon, href, newWindow, type, group);
            }
    }
}, {
    "label": "Cancel",
    "class": "btn",
    "callback": function() {}
}]);

I think you can just return false in your "Save" button callback

like this:

bootbox.dialog(header + content, [{
    "label": "Save",
    "class": "btn-primary",
    "callback": function() {

        title = $("#title").val();
        description = $("#description").val();
        icon = $("#icon").val();
        href = $("#link").val();
        newWindow = $("#newWindow").val();
        type = $("#type").val();
        group = $("#group").val();

            if (!title){ 
                $("#titleDiv").attr('class', 'control-group error'); 
                return false; 
            } else {
                addMenu(title, description, icon, href, newWindow, type, group);
            }
    }
}, {
    "label": "Cancel",
    "class": "btn",
    "callback": function() {}
}]);
