    <p>So I've been following this tutorial <a href="http://webcloud.se/log/AJAX-in-Django-with-jQuery/" rel="nofollow">http://webcloud.se/log/AJAX-in-Django-with-jQuery/</a>, and the get method works fine. i.e. I get a popup saying what it should say in the popup. However when I use the post method instead I don't get anything. It appears that the request doesn't even reach my view.</p> <p>This is what my bit of javascript dealing with this looks like:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){ $("#popupbutton").click(function(){ $.post("/launch_instances", { name: "Monty", food: "Spam" }, function(data) { alert(data); } ); }); ................... </code></pre> <p>This are the related bit of my template:</p> <pre><code>&lt;center&gt; &lt;div id="popupbutton"&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="Launch Instances!" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/center&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is my views.py:</p> <pre><code>from django.http import HttpResponse def li_view(request): return HttpResponse("post gets to the view") if request.is_ajax(): if request.method == 'GET': message = "This is an XHR GET request" elif request.method == 'POST': message = "This is an XHR POST request" else: message = "Nothing" else: message = "No XHR" return HttpResponse(message) </code></pre> <p>As you can see the first thing I do when I get to my view is return a HttpResponse, but when I am using post I don't see any popup like I do when I am using get. So my guess is that for some reason the request doesn't even reach the view.</p> <p>This is what my urls.py:</p> <pre><code>from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url from django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), url(r'^launch_instances/', 'simdata.views.li_view'), # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation: # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')), ) </code></pre> <p>There have been similar questions around but nothing as bizzare as this. I'm new to django/ajax/jquery so probably missing something very small.</p> <p>Thanks in advance :)</p>

    3. COIf you're using a modern browser like a recent Chrome or Firefox (with Firebug), you should be able to use the developer tools to figure out what's happening to your request. For example, in Chrome, you should open the Developer console (Wrench->Tools->Developer Tools) and go to the Network tab before triggering your AJAX call. You can then see the status code and response content which should help you debug.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
