Allow certain links inside the modal to be able to close the modal [#1347578]

Frequently I add a 'Cancel' link from inside $form['actions'] in forms that appear in the modal. I would really like when clicking those links to just close the modal, just like the top-right 'Close window'. I've tried giving them a .close class but this also gives the link a white color via CSS which for most admin themes make the link invisible.

Hm. It looks like the click behavior is bound when the frame is rendered, not when the content is rendered. It looks like it would be easy enough to add a standard modal close class, though.

From javascript, I believe your code would look something like this in a behavior:

$('.ctools-close-modal:not(.ctools-close-modal-processed)')
  .addClass('ctools-close-modal-processed')
  .click(function() { 
    Drupal.CTools.Modal.dismiss();
    return false;
  });

We could put that (or a working version in case I've typo'd something) in the modal's behavior and then in theory anyone could use it, but something like that could also go in any module's behavior to bind to a button specifically.
