Someone found the answer for me
It seems that having both the "div" tag to contain everything on the form and the form itself to be exactly the same size
[form id="SearchResults" runat="server" style="height: 565px; width: 1000px;"]
[div id="divContainer" style=" position:absolute; height:565px; width:1000px;"]
caused one to overlay the other. You could "look" through it, but you couldn't access anything on the form. Kinda like having a plate of glass on top. Once I removed the height and width properties from the Form statement, it worked as expected.
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
