populate a layer with image , its name

[vikaspa]

Dear All

Following link opens up a page showdetail.php and display details for id=$_REQUEST['id']

<a href="showdetail.php?id=<?php $rows['id'];?>">Show Details</a>

What i want to do ....

Use jquery ajax so that this page (or contents of the page) will be displayed in a div / layer
instead of opening up of a page

The HTML-People example code from http://bulletproofajax.com/code/ is an excellent example of how it's done.
