When I try this for my asp.net page -- &nbsp;and I do a &quot;View Page Source&quot; ... &nbsp; the form name has not changed. &nbsp;It still says:<br />
<br />
&lt;form name=&quot;aspnetForm&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;default.aspx&quot; id=&quot;aspnetForm&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #E1DFDB;&quot;&gt;
</div>

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
