An AJAX view is exactly the same as a normal view in Django - in other words, you need an entry in urls.py, which routes to a view, which returns a response. The only difference is that the response is usually something like JSON rather than HTML. So in your case you want your javascript to call a URL which accepts a parameter for your selected value, and returns a JSON list of corresponding values for the second select box. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
