title: Can I use update panels with jQTouch?
body: <p>I am using ASP.NET controls to fill in HTML for my jQTouch application, but I am having trouble with my hrefs ceasing to function as intended on my search page. The jQuery function for my anchor class evidently does not get called; it simply links back to the default page, even though the link is built similarly on other pages without any problems.</p>
  
  <p>This is where my links are breaking:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form id ="form1" runat="server" class="form"&gt;
     &lt;asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" /&gt;
     &lt;asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="up1"&gt;
         &lt;ContentTemplate&gt;
             &lt;ul class="rounded"&gt;
                 &lt;li&gt;&lt;asp:TextBox ID="txtSearchString" runat="server" name="search-articles" placeholder="Search GROK"&gt;&lt;/asp:TextBox&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                 &lt;li&gt;&lt;asp:Button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" type="rounded" OnClick="btnSearch_Click"&gt;&lt;/asp:Button&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
             &lt;/ul&gt;
             &lt;asp:Literal ID="litSearchResults" runat="server"&gt;&lt;/asp:Literal&gt; &lt;%--HTML for jQTouch inserted here--%&gt;
         &lt;/ContentTemplate&gt;
     &lt;/asp:UpdatePanel&gt;
     &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is an example of the HTML generated by code behind.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul class="edgetoedge"&gt;&lt;li class="sep"&gt;Found 101 articles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="4773"&gt;PAWS: How to Access the Sample Test Database&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="6464"&gt;Mac OS X: Hardware Test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="10483"&gt;The JavaScript Test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="14110"&gt;PAWS: Emergency Text Message Test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="3659"&gt;Definition: remote digital loopback test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="4333"&gt;Definition: power-on self test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="4346"&gt;Definition: power-on self test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="14166"&gt;AVG 9.0 Free Edition: Setting Scan Process Priority&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="4187"&gt;Microsoft Office 2007: Diagnostics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="7301"&gt;Moodle: Description of Aggregation Methods&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="14124"&gt;AVG 9.0 Free Edition: How can I run the complete scan of whole computer?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="13758"&gt;LSU A-Z: Office of Assessment and Evaluation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="10765"&gt;Linux: sed Insert a Newline Into the RHS of a Substitution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="5193"&gt;Microsoft PowerPoint 2007: Narrating a Slide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="7401"&gt;Ubuntu:  Deleting Undeletable Files In the Trash&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="10812"&gt;Linux: Remove All Digits/ Input From Inputs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="13643"&gt;SQL: Create a MySQL DocDB Databse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="5784"&gt;Linux Gnome: Screens and Graphics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#article" class="articleLink" id="5731"&gt;Linux Xfce: Adjust keyboard settings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

  <p>jQTouch handles every other tag normally, it is just the anchors that have ceased to function as intended by being placed inside this form. Can I keep using update panels here or will it inevitably break? Is there a work-around? Or am I approaching the problem incorrectly?
  Keep in mind I want to retain the AJAXical animations produced by jQTouch. If you find that I am unclear or you would like to see more code (I only included what I believe to be necessary), please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>Bonus points if you can tell me how to get jQTouch to replace the ugly the ASP.NET button control with an iPhoney button. :)</p>
