AJAX Report Refresh a_report- Condition for display not being validated

Question

Hi ,
I have a report which has the following condition for dispaly:
Exists(SQL query returs atleast one row) - SELECT * from temp1The query for the report is : select * from temp1 Now I have a button on the page and on click of the button I call the below Javascript :
function f_insert_Temp_table(pTrans){
      var l_Return = null;
      var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,
              'APPLICATION_PROCESS=temp_table_insert',206);       // ODP to insert into temp1
      get.add('TRANS_ID_ITEM',pTrans);
      gReturn = get.get('');
     //alert(gReturn);
     //$x_Show('6342610690289435');
     $a_report('6342610690289435','1','15','15');
}Everything executes fine and the report refreshes the rows but the condition used for display doesn't get checked when I call $a_report() ...
I can see the ODP execute successfully and row gets inserted into temp1 which means report condition is satisfied .
If I remove the condition for the report, I can see the report getting refreshed and showing new rows through the $a_Report() call.
Is there something that needs to be added to the script or $a_report call to validate the condition too ?Is there a way I can validate the region condition too ?
Appreciate any suggestions/pointers here. I really do not want to refresh the whole page.
Thanks,
Dippy

Hi Flavio,
Thanks for your support.I figured where I was going completely wrong.
Its just that when the page loads for the first time the temp table is empty and hence the report is not being displayed which simply
means that the report id Im passing into the a_report function is not rendered on the page. Hence no matter what the temp table contains the report id is absent from the page.
I fixed it as follows :
Remove the condition for the report.
Added and item and computed(P_Compute) its value using select count(*) from temp.
Added an onload JS function which does a $x_Show('Report_Region') if P_Compute > 0 or $x_Hide('Report_Region') if P_Compute <0 .
Now in my JS function which has an AJAX call to an ODP does an $x_Show('Report_Region').
Flavioc : the query for my report is simple
select * from tempIt finally dawned upon me that I'm trying to catch hold of an ID that's not rendered.
So one issue is solved now the other part would be figuring out how to make $a_report work with pagination etc .
