  1. POReturn Django Models for Template Rendering after an Ajax Request
    text
    copied!<p>I would like to create an AJAX-based search for my webpage. So far I am able to send the form data and make the appropriate call to my Django model. What I am having a hard time with is just sending the Queryset back and having it rendered using the Django templating system. Your help/advice is greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Here is the code I am working with.</p> <p>views.py</p> <pre><code>if request.is_ajax(): if request.method == 'POST': format = 'json' mimetype = 'application/json' try: q = request.POST['obj'] o = Object.objects.filter(name__icontains=q) return render_to_response( 'project_view_objects.html', {'username': request.user.username, 'results':o}) </code></pre> <p>view.html</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $("#search_form").submit(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "/objects/search/", data: $(this).serialize(), processData: false, dataType: "json" }); });}); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;article&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;form class="create_form" id="search_form"&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input id="objectSearchNameInput" type="text" name="obj" value="Object name"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="search objects"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;/article&gt; &lt;br /&gt; {% if results %} &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;aside class="column"&gt; {% for object in results %} &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="extra-text-special"&gt;{{ object.name }}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; {% endfor %} &lt;/aside&gt; &lt;aside class="column"&gt; {% for object in results %} &lt;font class="extra-text-nospecial"&gt;{{ object.created_when }}&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt; {% endfor %} &lt;/aside&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; {% else %} &lt;p&gt;haha&lt;/p&gt; {% endif %} </code></pre> <p>At the moment, all I see displayed on the page is 'haha'.</p>
 

Querying!

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
