Please see the following code:
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<button id="helloButton">
Search</button>
<div id="hello">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(
function () {
$('#helloButton').click(function () {
$('#hello').html('<div>hello world</div>');
});
});
</script>
</div>
</form>
When I use this script, all it does is flash "hello world", it doesn't keep it on the page. Does this has something to do with the click event? I'm trying to click the button and then leave the object on the page.

in order to prevent the form from posting, so that you can see your changes, you need to call preventDefault()
$('#helloButton').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#hello').html('<div>hello world</div>');
});
Otherwise you can simply do a return false which will do both preventDefault and stop propagation
$('#helloButton').click(function (e) {
$('#hello').html('<div>hello world</div>');
return false;
});
