I was wondering if anyone could help me out with an issue I am having. I am using Asp.net and JQuery UI 1.9.2. What I have on my form is a textbox and a button for searching. When the button is clicked, server side I query the database and store all the results in a Gridview. To make the DataTable work with Asp.Net gridview, I do the following in CS:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPreRender(e);
    // No point to change settings if there isn't any rows
    if (this.gridMemberInfo.Rows.Count <= 0)
        return;
    // Change table so there is a THEAD
    this.gridMemberInfo.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader;
    if(this.gridMemberInfo.ShowFooter)
        this.gridMemberInfo.FooterRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableFooter;
}
This Gridview is inside of a div that I use for a JQuery Dialog to act as a modal popup. After binding the gridview's datasource with the results from the query, I do this to create the modal:
CS:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "MemberModal", "CreateMemberModal();", true);
JS:
function CreateMemberModal()
{
    $(document).ready(function ()
    {
        $("#modal").dialog(
        {
            modal: true,
            hide: "explode",
            width: 700,
            height: "auto",
            resizable: false,
            open: function (event, ui)
            {
                $("#gridMemberInfo").dataTable(
                {
                    "bJQueryUI": true,
                    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
                    "aaSorting": []
                });
            }
        })
    });
}
The modal is displayed correctly and works perfectly the first time the dialog opens. However, if the user closes the dialog and performs a different search, then the dialog opens but the gridview doesn't take any of the DataTable properties (shown as a regular HTML table in the modal). Also, the modal div is inside of an asp:UpdatePanel, so the page doesn't reload during the search. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
