jQuery UI, Asp.NET, IE, Disappearing Buttons

I have an Asp.NET website being written in C#. There is a开发者_如何学JAVA DataGrid () that has three columns of buttons (). I an using jQuery UI to redesign site and I wanted to style the buttons in this grid. After finding no way to do it with HTML/ASP markup, I decided to use a jQuery selector to set the style. This works to style the buttons, but in IE 8, when I hover over a button, the rest of the buttons disappear and they don't come back until I refresh the page. My javascript looks like this:

$('input[type~="submit"]').button ();
$('input[type~="submit"]').css ('font-size', '10px');

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue was my lack of a DOCTYPE declaration. Making it strict fixed the issue.
