Django button ajax click

Question

I have some HTML that Django is rendering well. I\'d like to click a button on the HTML and have that cause an event to fire in the view.

It doesn\'t look like the butt

Is there a reason Why you are not using the click event directly?

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
    $("#update_log_button").click(function(){
        $.post(
         url : "/hello/",
         dataType:"html",
         success: function(data, status, xhr){
            //do something with your data
        }
        );
        return false;
    });
 });
</script>

If the button is dynamically created then you may want to use the bind function to attach click event handler to the element:

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(function(){
    $("#update_log_button").bind('click', function(){
        $.post(
         url : "/hello/",
         dataType:"html",
         success: function(data, status, xhr){
            //do something with your data
        }
        );

        return false;
    });
   });
</script>

Try this URL to include the JQuery library:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
