ScriptManager and the tag

I think this is interesting...

As far as I can remember we used to put our script references in the

HTML

<head>

tags. But a ScriptManager has to be placed inside the

HTML

<form>

tags.

This means if you are including a library like jQuery via your ScriptManager on your masterpage that any script using jQuery in ContentPlaceHolders above the ScriptManager placement will fail.

Odd, isn't it? You'd think that ScriptManager would be the one control that Microsoft would allow to be placed outside the form or simply render it's contents in head tags.

Meanwhile, I'm going to take my jQuery references out of the ScriptManager and stick them in the head. We have a ContentPlaceHolder in the head and a number of pages are using that for their script.

I was hoping for validation that there isn't a way to do this. Sorry the question wasn't clear. I might be clever enough to sound like I know what I'm talking about, but not clever enough to know there isn't a better way.
