I'm working with an older version of the asp.net controls in a project for work.  We will probably upgrade to the latest once we have time to retest as well as take care of licensing issues.

The issue I'm running into is that I needed a later version of jquery than what shipped.  I'm using 2010.3.1317.40, which i know is old, but I don't have a choice right now.  I'm trying to get at a splitter control in javascript  but I have not been successful.

I let the new version of jQuery take the $ 

I tried to assign $find using Sys.Application.findComponent
I tried using $telerik.findSplitter("control client Id")   both ways return null

I need to be able to update a panels content via javascript.

Thanks in advance  

Nevermind, 

Even though I was doing the find inside a page loaded function, it seems that something was still not ready to be worked with.  I put the code in a setTimeout function with a small delay and it seems to be fine.
