ASP.NET AJAX and JQuery issue

Question

I have an ASP.NET page using the AJAX control toolkit for some controls. A recent update is looking for some more dynamic "flair", and it was recommended I look into jQuery to add some of the functionality. My issue lies here: When I add the jQuery reference (see below), I get a javascript error when the page loads: "this._form is null or not an object". This seemingly disables all the controls on the page (on load, the page displays some user information and 5 or 6 buttons as a "menu"). All the click handlers seem to get disabled due to this error. If I remove the reference to jQuery, everything works fine. I have also tried writing some jQuery code to create a message when a controls hover event is fired. Even with the js error, that code works, but it still disables the buttons.

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" />

Any help, ideas, etc would be greatly appreciated.

This may sound strange but you need to have an end tag for script tags. So you use :

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" ></script>

instead of

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" />

I don't know about other versions, but this is definitely the case in IE6.

@Mario: I actually spent quite a long time figuring this out a couple of years ago. When I saw your script tag ... I even answered the question before reading the whole thing.
