Using AJAX inside a custom user control - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

I'm developing some custom pieces for a Sitefinity site as custom user controls that are added to Sitefinity pages. I have a modal popup extender from the AJAX control toolkit that works in my dev environment, on the live site in an empty template, but not in the actual templates they need to use. It's using the toolkit ScriptManager

<ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager runat="server" ID="ToolkitScriptManager1"></ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager>

It looks to me like something coming from ScriptResource.axd might be in conflict with the script manager I'm using but I have no idea how to track this down in Sitefinity.

I'm not getting any errors when my AJAX isn't working, just that my hidden modal window is always visible instead of being shown/hidden on click.

Any information that could help me track down the cause would be helpful.

As I was continuing to debug I noticed that if I put a Google Analytics Script Widget on the template it will break my AJAX. That's at least one thing the breaks it, so I guess the questions are why and how do I work around it?

The issue ended up being javascript coding errors in the Google Analytics script we were using, not the Google Analytics widget itself. We have no issues if we insert a Google Analytics widget with no code.
