In the script at the bottom I get the result from /php/get/items-sold.php and put it into the div called items-list. It’s not supposed to actually go to the page /php/get/item-sold.php, but on the FIRST load of my site it does – or it goes to the banner php file or the sidebar php file which are loaded in sidebar.js. But on subsequent loads it works entirely like it’s supposed to.
I just tried putting the code that loads it in an event listener for DOMContentLoaded, as you can see in my code below, but it fixed nothing.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
