    <p>This is kind of "I already lost x hours debugging this" kind of problem/question :(</p> <p>Following jQuery js code is initiating POST request upon button click</p> <pre><code>$("#btn_create_tag").click(function(evt) { $.post("/tag/createAjax", { tagname: $("#txt_tag_name").val() }, function(data) { } ); }); </code></pre> <p>Django code that is performed on this call is:</p> <pre><code>@suppress_logging_output @login_required def createAjax(request): if request.is_ajax() and request.method == 'POST': tagName = request.POST["tagname"] new_tag = Tag() new_tag.name = tagName new_tag.save() print "new tag with id %s has been created" % new_tag.id </code></pre> <p>That code is executed successfully (I'm doing checks for empty or already existing name, but didn't wrote here to be more clear), but new Tag object is NOT created. I'm even getting ""new tag with id %s has been created" printed on devserver's prompt, and every time ID is increased for one, as suppossed to, but objects are not stored in db.</p> <p>When I execute </p> <pre><code>new_tag = Tag() new_tag.name = tagName new_tag.save() </code></pre> <p>from Django shell, new Tag object is regulary created, but from jQuery request, it's not created.</p> <p>Have any idea what's wront, what to check, how to debug this....</p> <p>DB behind is PostgresSQL 8.3.</p> <p>Any suggestion is more then welcome :)</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>:</p> <p>I wrote UnitTest which is working:</p> <pre><code>class AjaxTestCase(TestCase): def testAjaxCreateTag(self): tagNum = Tag.objects.filter(name="TEST_TAG").count() self.assertEqual(tagNum, 0) c = Client() c.post('/lookup/tag/createAjax', {'tagname': 'TEST_TAG'}, HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH='XMLHttpRequest') tagNum = Tag.objects.filter(name="TEST_TAG").count() self.assertEqual(tagNum, 1) </code></pre> <p><strong>Update2</strong>:</p> <p>Hum, this morning, it seems that everything is working fine, but code hasn't changed. I don't like this at all :(</p>

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.

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