ASP.NET UpdatePanel, Ajax, and jQuery problems and solution

I am finishing work on an eCommerce application and there is some AJAX functionality that I had to add to several of the pages.

Prior to this, I was adding some behaviors to elements of the page using jQuery's ready function:

// inside my script.js file
jQuery(function($) {
$(document).ready(function(){
   // code here
}});

I added several UpdatePanels that were being updated by some AJAX calls. Everything seemed to work great, until I noticed that once any of the AJAX updated the UpdatePanel that all the behaviours I was setting up using jQuery were gone!!

I spent a while digging around and found a comment by "gt1329a" here:

In his/her comment they mention that "pageLoad fires after every partial postback" - which was essentially resetting the page without re-initializing the jQuery $(document).ready()...

So to clarify his/her "quick and dirty solution", I modified the code so it looks like this:

// inside my script.js file
/* // sorry jQuery
jQuery(function($) {
$(document).ready(function(){ */

function pageLoad()
{
   // code here
}

/*}});*/

I have some concerns about doing this, but being a pragmatist, I am satisfied with the result. The AJAX calls all work, and all the behaviors I need to add into the page are functioning as expected.
