    <pre><code>&lt;form id="login_frm" method="post" action = "/login/user_auth/"&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Login:&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;label for="id_email"&gt;Email&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="email" id="id_email" /&gt; &lt;label for="id_password"&gt;Password&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="password" name="password" id="id_password" /&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;input name = "login" type="submit" value="Login" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; $(document).ready(function () { $('#login_frm').submit(function() { var $form = $(this); $.post('/login/user_auth/' , form.serialize(), function(data) { // alert ("function"); alert (data); }); return false; }); }); </code></pre> <p>Django View:</p> <pre><code>def login_user(request): if request.method == 'POST': # perform all logic / and db access data = "hello" return HttpResponse(data) # return HttpResponse ('success.html') </code></pre> <p>I have been stuck on this all afternoon.</p> <ol> <li><p>When I return <code>data</code> as my response, for some reason, the browser displays "Hello" by loading a blank webpage with just "Hello" written on it; in the JavaScript function above, <code>alert (data);</code> is never called (I cannot understand why).</p></li> <li><p>I am unable to render the success.html. I believe that if I write render_to_response inside the HttpResponse, I will solve this problem. However I think making point 1 work is a first priority.</p></li> </ol> <p><strong>Goal</strong></p> <p>After the post, I would like to capture the returned response from the server (whether it is just the "hello" message, or a webpage that displays a success message- stored in "success.html") and display it in place of the <code>login_frm</code> without having the browser refresh a new webpage.</p>

    1. COInstead of "hello" in a plain page, what where you expecting to get returned when calling [data = "hello" return HttpResponse(data)]? Maybe instead of sending a new HttpResponse object you should alter an existing one? (My Django skills are real dusty so excuse me if this is a useless comment)

    2. COI don't quite understand your question: You are explicitly returning a response with just "hello" in it, so why do you expect the HTML and JavaScript to be loaded?

    3. CO@AntiDog, I just do not expect the webpage to be refreshed, rather, as a post method, the result should be returned and the line alert (data) should be executed in th javascript function. Yuji's solution fixed it, it was an error in the name of the variable.

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).
