Checkboxlist not retaining selection after postback in IE

Platform: ASP.Net 2.0

I have multiple checkboxlist controls on a webpage. Along with that i have the same number of buttons on that page. Initially all the checkboxlist controls are hidden. When user 开发者_StackOverflow中文版clicks on a button, corresponding checkboxlist controls gets visible making others hidden and allows user to select the options.

On postback, if user clicks on the same button again, the corresponding checkboxlist gets visible but the item selection is not retained. However, this happens only in IE. This works fine in FireFox. I am using JQuery to toggle the visibility of checkboxlist.

I guess the problem is because i am toggling the visibility of checkboxlist which IE doesnt seem to like. What is the solution to this problem?

This may sound totally weird but after struggling for a day, i changed the rendering sequence of the div. To my surprise, it started working fine.
