jquery modal() closes itself

Question

I've an modal in jquery 2.* and running a project in visual studio express for web. When I'm in debug mode and let the page be idle with the modal up, it closes itself after a (long) while. I really can't understand why and having a hard time to figure it out. Does anyone have any idea?

I've looked through the jquery code for setTimeout, but only found 3 calls to setTimeout, none of which I suspect. I also know that visual studio is doing some polling for some reason, that's my main suspect right now, but I can't understand why that would close my modal.

Your suspicion is probably right. If there is a poll/refresh of the page the dialog will close. — skarist, Jul 18 '14 at 19:55
but why would visual studio do that? It makes it impossible to properly test certain things. — iveqy, Jul 18 '14 at 20:05

ExecutionTimeOut came to my mind...

<location path="THE PAGE YOU NEED TO WATCH">
    <system.web>
        <httpRuntime executionTimeout="1000"/> // IN SECONDS
    </system.web>
</location>

Here is an answer that covers that topic.

Update: From msdn:

The ExecutionTimeout property indicates the maximum number of seconds a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET. The default is 110 seconds. This time-out applies only if the debug attribute in the element is set to false.
