I want to have a little feedback form in one of my views but I can't get it to work. I put a pdb.set_trace() to debug the views but when I click submit the view reloads and never gets into the if request.method == 'POST' and... code section. I'm very confused about how to approach ajax forms submission with django. When I want to make somthing like update a db value clicking in a button(i.e: votes) I can create another view for handling the ajax call, but in this case I've to generate the empty form in the original view, so I guess I can't create another one to handle the ajax call.
views.py: def results(request, query): # View code outside the form ipcs_selected = request.session['ipcs_requested'] query2 = ' | '.join(query.split()) base_query = '@title (%s)' % (query2) # code that I want to run when the user submit's the form results = {'success': False } if request.method == u'POST' and request.is_ajax(): form = FeedBackForm(request.POST) POST = request.POST # work with the form if form.is_valid(): results = {'success':True} json = simplejson.dumps(results) return HttpResponse(json, mimetype='application/json') else: form = FeedBackForm() return render_to_response('results.html', {'patents': patents, 'query': query, 'bq': base_query, 'form': form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) results.html: <script> function submit_form() { $.post("/results/{{query}}/", { query:{{ query }}, full: {{full_query }} }, function(json){ alert("Success?: " + json['success']); }); } function addClickHandlers() { $("#submit").click( function() { submit_form() }); } $(document).ready(addClickHandlers); </script> <form action="" method="post" id="form"> <p>Relevant results?</p> {{ form.relevance }} <p>Up to which page?</p> {{ form.rel_pages }} <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT" id="submit" /> </form> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
