I'm rocking this bit of Javascipt in the <head> section of my page:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('dl.expander dd').expander
        (
            {   slicePoint: 50,    widow: 2,   expandEffect: 'show', userCollapseText: '[^]' }
        );
    });
</script>

This works great the first time the page is loaded; however, when I click an <asp:button> that is inside an <asp:updatepanel> the page is partially refreshed, but the $(document).ready is never called again.

This is important, because this Javascript in the $(document).ready section is collapsing and adding a "readmore" option to a list of pararaphs (or dl's with class="expander") on the page, most of which should be collapsed by default.

You will need to add a handler to the AJAX client side endRequest event. See the links below for more information. This "event" is called when the ajax engine completes a request to the server, and is necessary for any javascript running on content that is inside the update panel.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(EndRequestHandler);
    });

    function EndRequestHandler(sender, args) {
        // code that you want to run when the request is complete
    }
<script>
