A timepicker javascript stops working when the page does postback ASP.NET

Question

I have an update panel in my page.aspx, and inside the update panel I have textbox with bootstrap timepicker, I show an example:

      <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="upd1">
                <ContentTemplate>
 <div class="form-group">
                    <div class="row col-md-12 col-md-offset-0">
                        <label class="control-label">Monday</label>                            
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group col-md-3">
                    <div class="input-group bootstrap-timepicker timepicker input-sm">
                        <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFecIni_1" class="form-control input-small "></asp:TextBox>
                        <span class="input-group-addon "><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i></span>
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group col-md-3">
                    <div class="input-group bootstrap-timepicker timepicker input-sm">
                        <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFecFin_1" class="form-control input-small "></asp:TextBox>
                        <span class="input-group-addon "><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i></span>
                    </div>
                </div>

              </ContentTemplate>
                </asp:UpdatePanel>

Under the </ form> of my page I add this javascript code:

       <script type="text/javascript">
        window.onload = function () {
  $('#txtFecIni_1').timepicker({
                minuteStep: 30,
                defaultTime: false,
                showMeridian: false
            });

            $('#txtFecFin_1').timepicker({
                minuteStep: 30,
                defaultTime: false,
                showMeridian: false
            });
}

    </script>

    <script src="js/jquery-2.2.2.min.js"></script>
        <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
        <script src="js/bootstrap-timepicker.js"></script>

The timepicker works properly until an object is thrown autopostback. How can I solve this? Thanks.

I solve my problem at this way:

I change window.onload = function () for function pageLoad() like that:

Before:

     <script type="text/javascript">
        window.onload = function () {
  $('#txtFecIni_1').timepicker({
                minuteStep: 30,
                defaultTime: false,
                showMeridian: false
            });

            $('#txtFecFin_1').timepicker({
                minuteStep: 30,
                defaultTime: false,
                showMeridian: false
            });
}

    </script>

After:

 <script type="text/javascript">
          function pageLoad() {
  $('#txtFecIni_1').timepicker({
                minuteStep: 30,
                defaultTime: false,
                showMeridian: false
            });

            $('#txtFecFin_1').timepicker({
                minuteStep: 30,
                defaultTime: false,
                showMeridian: false
            });
}

    </script>

I read that the Pageload is called on every postback. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone

this is due to postback of asp.net control here is explaination

Use Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManage

and your code will be something like this..

<script>
                jQuery(document).ready(function () {

                       $('#txtFecIni_1').timepicker({
                    minuteStep: 30,
                    defaultTime: false,
                    showMeridian: false
                });

                $('#txtFecFin_1').timepicker({
                    minuteStep: 30,
                    defaultTime: false,
                    showMeridian: false
                    });
              });
                var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance();

                prm.add_endRequest(function () {


                       $('#txtFecIni_1').timepicker({
                    minuteStep: 30,
                    defaultTime: false,
                    showMeridian: false
                });

                $('#txtFecFin_1').timepicker({
                    minuteStep: 30,
                    defaultTime: false,
                    showMeridian: false
                    });
                });
            </script>
