ASP.NET may be incorrectly detecting Chrome on iPad as a "downlevel" browser that doesn't support JavaScript. ASP.NET uses the user agent string to detect down level browsers. To force Chrome to be detected as an "uplevel" browser, you can do this:

{
    if (Request.UserAgent != null && Request.UserAgent.IndexOf("chrome", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) > -1)
    {
        this.ClientTarget = "uplevel";
    }
}
