I'll give it a good stab. I'm not much of a JavaScript programmer, but I understand the concepts surrounding AJAX. Basically, your author links would call a javascript function that uses XMLHttpRequest to retrieve the data for the descriptions. It can either return XML for your javascript to parse, or it can just return the exact HTML you need for filling in the DIV. An example for this might be a simplified view template that just has the loop through the data to display the markup and actual data, then replace the innerHTML of the descriptions DIV with the data that's returned. Instant re- population. I believe Django has most of what you need to simplify the generation of the data already built-in. It's just a matter of figuring out how to glue the pieces together. I'd suggest looking at James' example (http://www.b-list.org/weblog/ 2006/07/31/django-tips-simple-ajax-example-part-1) for a start, and just keep in mind the concepts. The code part almost come naturally if you know anything about JavaScript. Hopefully, someone will read this and will be able to give you a better, with code, example than I have. :) HTH, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
