I have a jquery accordion on an asp.net aspx weppage. Inside the panes, I have asp.net buttons. When I click on the button, the pane I was in, closes and reloads the page,
Use the option "active" when you create the accordion. Something like this:
$('.selector').accordion({ active: 2 });
This will activate the second option in the accordion. You can also pass a selector to select by id.
