Re: how to use render_to_response, ajax and javascript variables

2010-06-17 Thread Ian McDowall
Sorry, other posters have picked up two of my errors. It is a while since I used application/json and I was running on (incorrect) memory. My reasoning for using plain text is as follows. I regard parsing JSON using eval() as a security risk on the client side. If you have complete control of th

Hi Alex, here is a small example of a JSON response. I don't mix HTML and JSON personally (I use HTML pages and then fetch JSON via AJAX calls so). Here is a fragment of code from one of my views: t = loader.get_template('members/member_info.json') c = Context({'member_set':member_set})

I had the same issue but I also wanted to create additional data for each user. It was straightforward to create a script to add users. I needed to import some bits to set up the Django environment and then I was able to create users with standard Django calls. Here is extracts from my code (with

s just XMl and Django's templating works fine for that. There are some technical catches about the type of the document and namespaces but I can provide a worked example. The drawback is that not all browsers support SVG well. This appears to work well in recent ver
