Question

I have an ASP.NET application that also uses jQuery for modal pop-ups. If I put an ASP button (or image button) within the DIV for the jQuery modal, the “OnClick” event does not fire.

How can I fix this?

When you create the dialog, you need to move it a bit for ASP.Net, like this:

$(".class").dialog({ 
  //options
}).parent().appendTo("form");

By default the .dialog() moves the content to just before </body> which most importantly is outside the <form></form>, so elements within it won’t be included in the POST (or GET) to the server. If you manually move it like I have above, it’ll resolve this issue.
