There is no magic involved there. But there is no standard that what ajax response should look like. Or actually that acronym includes word XML. For JS most of us does use some JS framework like jQuery, Dojo toolkit, Mootools, ExtJS, just few to name. All of those like to have slightly different responses. See the pattern? There exists also few nice additional frameworks like Tastypie or Rest framework that does excellent job to bring powerful tools that can talk restful services - and those are quite suitable for ajax consumption. Some of the frameworks even does have somekind of implementation to use them directly. -- Jani Tiainen - Well planned is half done, and a half done has been sufficient before... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
