title: How to integrate Jquery Mobile with an existing ASP.net WebForms application
body: <p>I have an existing ASP.net 4.5 webforms application that I want to make into a "WebApp"-like application for mobile browsers.</p>
  
  <p>What I'm mainly interested in is the graphics / sizing / scaling aspect, since the WebForms site works well with mobile browsers already, but it looks ugly and not "mobile" at all.</p>
  
  <p>Reading around, I came across jQuery mobile, which at a glance seems perfect: just including it in my website turns every element of the page "mobile friendly" (fixed page size, big buttons and elements, auto stretching, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>But my initial enthusiasm was short lived: as soon as I tried to use the website, I noticed that while the graphics were perfect, including JQ mobile broke almost all the logic, for example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>DropDownLists stopped generating postbacks </li>
  <li>Clicking on LinkButtons stopped working (nothing happens on click)</li>
  <li>UpdatePanels broke completely (the ajax calls don't fire anymore)</li>
  <li>MultiViews broke completely (they get reset to the initlia View on
  every postback)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong, or is it just that WebForms and JQuery Mobile are just incompatible?</p>
  
  <p>If they are incompatible, can anyone suggest an alternative to make my website look like a mobile web app (other than re-designing everything by hand that is).</p>
