search results and first result details

Hi there, I wonder if anyone can assist?

I've set up a search function for a client, through the DataAssist search wizard, that allows visitors to select options from four dynamically populated dropdowns to display a filtered set of results. Currently I have the search and results (a list of thumbnails) on the same page and a DIV on the page as well with an ID of "main-inner-wrapper" that is populated via ajaxpage (Dynamic ajax content) when a thumbnail is clicked on with more content about that thumbnail. This can be viewed at product-search.php and the code is attached.

Everything is working fine, but the only issue is that when you perform a search and the results are displayed, there is no content in DIV "main-inner-wrapper". Ideally what I'd like is when the results are first displayed, the content about the first thumbnail in the results is displayed in "main-inner-wrapper". I've placed all the necessary php placeholders within the div, which all gets replaced when you click on any of the thumbnails in the results, but I can't seem to populate these php placeholders initially from the first thumbnail result.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Paul

call the ajax script in the body onload event:


php:
<body onload="javascript:ajaxpage('product.php?lazer_product_id=<?php echo $row_product['lazer_product_id']; ?>', 'main-inner-wrapper');">

Hi Jason

Many thanks for the response, really appreciate it. It appears to do the trick, but for some reason it seems to be intermittent. Sometimes if I perform a search it displays the details of the first result in the "main-inner-wrapper" DIV correctly. But on others, it doesn't and I have to press the search button several times before it does.
Do you have any thoughts as to what might me causing this?
Many thanks in advance

Kind regards
Paul

I am not able to reproduce the issue

could be the browser cache.

Hi Jason
Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you, got tied up with other projects. Thank you for the advice, I've cleared the cache and it has worked to a degree. Unfortunately though it still seems a little intermittent so I'll see how things go for the mo as I'm still in initial build stage.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Kind regards
Paul
