This is generally the right approach. What is the value of 'variable'
though? If it's a string, you'll need to wrap it in quotes for the
javascript to be valid. Also, the rule with Javascript is that
variables defined outside of a function need to be defined with "var"
to be global.

  var dummy = "{{variable}}";

yes it is a js problem .. But I was looking for a way in which I
can use Django Variables passed by a view function inside a statically
served js ... since it's static, the template engine won't parse
it .
