request.is_ajax return false in template

I'm trying to make conditionnal extends in a template : 

{% extends request.is_ajax|yesno:"base_ajax.html,base.html" %}

In my view : 

def new(request):
    snippet_form = SnippetForm()
    return render_to_response('new.html', {
        'snippet_form': snippet_form,
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

But request.is_ajax always return false !

If I call request.is_ajax in my view, it contains the good value.

def new(request):
    snippet_form = SnippetForm()
    ajax = request.is_ajax()
    return render_to_response('new.html', {
        'snippet_form': snippet_form,
        'ajax': ajax
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

And in my template : 

{% extends ajax|yesno:"base_ajax.html,base.html" %}

That's works but I'd prefer use the first solution !

Any ideas ?

(I'm using the jquery load function)

Do you have the 'request' context processor enabled? The list called TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS shloud have this string in it:

django.core.context_processors.request

It is off by default.
