I'm trying out jQuery to send POST and GET requests to Django.
So far only GET is recognized, and POST I will get errors, and although GET works I cannot get the individual fields that I send to my Django app.
So I wonder what's the problem, and how do I get POST to work?
views.py
def xhr_test(request):
if request.is_ajax():
if request.method == 'GET':
message = "Hello GET Ajax"
print request.GET
print "hello"
elif request.method == 'POST':
message = "Hello POST Ajax"
print request.POST
else:
message = "Hello"
return HttpResponse(message)
template
<html>
<head>
<title>Ajax with jQuery Example</title>
<script type="text/JavaScript" src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#generate").click(function() {
$.get("/ajax_fetch/xhr_test", function(data) {
// alert(data);
});
});
$("#generate_post").click(function() {
$.post("/ajax_fetch/xhr_test", {
name: "Monty"
}, function(data) {
alert(data)
});
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper {
width: 240px;
height: 80px;
margin: auto;
padding: 10px;
margin-top: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="quote"><p> </p></div>
<form method="get">
<p><input type="text" name="user" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" id="generate" value="Generate!" /></p>
</form>
<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<p><input type="text" name="user" /></p>
<p><input id="generate_post" type="submit" value="Click" /></p>
</form>
</div
</body>
</html>

Change
<input id="generate_post" type="submit" value="Click" />
to
<input id="generate_post" type="button" value="Click" />
(Change submit
to button
)

Okay, I don't want to adjust the question. So post my solution to the problem as an answer instead. Here's the modified files
template
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#generate").click(function() {
$.get("/ajax_fetch/xhr_test",$("form:first").serialize(), function(data) {
alert(data);
});
return false
});
});
<form>{% csrf_token %}
<p><input type="text" name="user" /></p>
<p><input type="text" name="name" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" id="generate" value="Generate!" /></p>
</form>
views.py
def xhr_test(request):
if request.is_ajax():
if request.method == 'GET':
message = "Hello GET Ajax"
message += " "+request.GET.get('user', '')
message += " "+request.GET.get('name', '')
elif request.method == 'POST':
message = "Hello POST Ajax"
print "hello"
message += " "+request.POST.get('user', '')
else:
message = "Hello"
return HttpResponse(message)
