Re: Rendering only a portion of the page

Hi Lj, 

 

I am building a django web app that has a control panel with various
icons.  Right now, the icons have href tags that load a new page when
the user clicks the icon.  I want to change this to instead call a
jQuery function that will use ajax, or dajaxice, to render only the
content part of the page.
Does this sound possible?

Yes, absolutely.

 

Would this be easier to do with Dajaxice, or with jQuery functions?
Could I still use django templates for the content that corresponds
with each icon?

In every panel icon, you should register an onclick event and call your registered dajaxice function or instead use jQuery to call your own view.

That dajaxice function or your own view should return the html content that you want to show. How? probably rendering that code using render_to_string [1]

Hope this helps you, 

Jorge Bastida.
