I believe there is an issue using jqModal on a page that has multiple forms. It looks like the initialization process: $('selector').jqm(options) builds a view model with properties for each target, the selector returns. Whereas the show: $('selector').jqmShow() slots the target of the selector into the page's form via .prependTo('form') creating copies of each modal in each of the page's forms. If for instance, you targeted a single modal on the page, but the page had two forms: The view modal would contain data for one modal, but after jqmShow() the page would contain two modals - one in each of the forms.
