I'm having a really hard time pinpointing the source of an intermittent problem in an ASP.NET web application running on the Safari browser on a third-generation iPad running iOS 6.0. What happens is that, on occasion, the that \[code\]<a>\[/code\] tags set up as hyperlinks that do postbacks via JavaScript will suddenly stop working and don't appear to do anything if you touch them on the screen. These include an asp:LinkButton control that is set up as a logout link, and the header row of a GridView that is set up to allowing row sorting. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind it - they will work as normal for awhile, then stop, and I'll later notice that they start working again (mostly after closing Safari and re-opening it, though that doesn't always seem to work).The logout button, as generated in the resulting HTML, looks like this:\[code\]<a id="LogoutButton" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$LogoutButton','')">[ Logout ]</a>\[/code\]Is there anything special about Safari running on the iPad that might prevent such links to break on occasion, such as too much data loaded on the page or in other open browser tabs, or maybe something with the ViewState that is acting up in this scenario? Even after playing around with the web application on the iPad for awhile, I can't find any particular way to recreate the problem, so I can't even begin to try to fix it which is really frustrating, so I'm looking for guidance from those who have developed ASP.NET apps and know the iPad and/or Safari environments really well. I've never had this problem occur on a desktop browser.
