How are you making the put and delete requests? Most ajax libraries I've seen, fake out PUT and DELTE by sending a flag with the operation name as a parameter to POST and rely on the webservice understanding that. See: http://dobrzanski.net/2007/04/22/using-put-and-delete-methods-in-ajax-requesta

Hi Allen, Python cannot run in the browser the way javascript does. However, you can use Django templates to render HTML on the server and then serve it to the client. This is somewhat similar to PHP-in-HTML scripts. -Mahmoud On Sep 11, 11:54 am, "Andrew Badera" <[EMAIL PROT
