I am trying to get 
X-Editable<http://vitalets.github.com/x-editable/index.html> inline 
editing of a model in Django. I am simply trying to change attributes of a 
model instance (in this case, the name of a Dataset object). Whenever I try 
to make the inline edit, I get an error that says that there is no CSRF 
protection. How can I add this this?

Also, I am not sure how to write the view so that it correctly captures the 
information from the ajax request:

POST /datasets/9/update_name/{
    pk:    3            //primary key (record id)
    value: 'The Updated Name' //new value}

Then save the new name to the Dataset object.

urls.py

# ex: /datasets/3/update_name
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/update_name/$', update_name ,
    name='update_name'),

detail.html

<h1 class="page-title center">
  <a href="#" id="datasetName">{{ dataset.name }}</a></h1>
<script>// using jQueryfunction getCookie(name) {
  var cookieValue = null;
  if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
    var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
    for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
      var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
          // Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
          if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) == (name + '=')) {
            cookieValue = decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
            break;
          }
        }
      }
      return cookieValue;
    }
    var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');

    function csrfSafeMethod(method) {
  // these HTTP methods do not require CSRF protection
  return (/^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|TRACE)$/.test(method));}
$.ajaxSetup({ 
 beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
   function getCookie(name) {
     var cookieValue = null;
     if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
       var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');

             }
             if (!(/^http:.*/.test(settings.url) || 
/^https:.*/.test(settings.url))) {
           // Only send the token to relative URLs i.e. locally.
           xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", getCookie('csrftoken'));
         }
       } 
     });
$('#datasetName').editable({
  type: 'text',
  pk: {{ dataset.pk }},
  url: '{% url 'datasets:update_name' dataset.pk %}',
  title: 'Edit dataset name',});</script>
