In my users page, i have in place editing with ajax. And when i click edit, it works fine. But when i submit the form, it don't do anything. When i checked, this is the error:
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
So, how do I place {% csrf_token %} in my javascript? Please advice. Thank you.
edit.js:
function bookmark_edit() {
var item = $(this).parent();
var url = item.find(".title").attr("href");
item.load("/save/?ajax&url=" + escape(url), null, function () {
$("#save-form").submit(bookmark_save);
});
return false;
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$("ul.bookmarks .edit").click(bookmark_edit);
});
function bookmark_save() {
var item = $(this).parent();
var data = {
url: item.find("#id_url").val(),
title: item.find("#id_title").val(),
tags: item.find("#id_tags").val()
};
$.post("/save/?ajax", data, function (result) {
if (result != "failure") {
item.before($("li", result).get(0));
item.remove();
$("ul.bookmarks .edit").click(bookmark_edit);
}
else {
alert("Failed to validate bookmark before saving.");
}
})
return false;
}

<form id = "save-form" method="post" action="/save/">
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_p}}
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
user_page.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}

You are not sending the server generated csrf_token for the POST to verify the validity of the data. Hence the error.
As a part of the data
part of the request, you need to send the token
csrfmiddlewaretoken: '{{ csrf_token }}'
Something like this
var data = {
url: item.find("#id_url").val(),
title: item.find("#id_title").val(),
tags: item.find("#id_tags").val(),
csrfmiddlewaretoken: '{{ csrf_token }}'
};
Or you could simply do:
var data = $('form').serialize()
if you want to send the whole form as a dictionary
