HTML pages not working properly on iPad

I tried running a site on the iPad and although everything works fine in Safari/Firefox/IE on my laptop, it does not work properly on the iPad.

I googled it and see something called iHTML, is this the reason why Safari on the iPad doesn't work as expected? I figured I'd post a question here before getting too deep in re-designing pages for iPad.

The pages render fine, its when JS is executed that the problem occurs. I'm using jQuery to hide/show areas of the page when buttons are clicked. With the iPad, the areas that are hidden/shown "flash", meaning the areas that are to be hidden are hidden and immediately shown and the areas that are to be shown are shown and then immediately hidden.

I put the code through a validator and it all checks out fine (Total Validator) and I'm having a difficult time troubleshooting the issue because there aren't any JS errors on the page.

Do any of you have hints on how to troubleshoot on the iPad? My co-worker turned on the "debug" mode but that hasn't been much help.

I'll try to troubleshoot it myself at first. I mainly wanted to know if there was anything special about Safari in the iPad as opposed to Safari on a Mac machine.
