[Answer]-JQuery call not hitting server on $.post

Could be a couple things going on I think:

1. Specify the content type in the jQuery call, make sure it says ‘appliciation/json’ (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/) since you’re serializing assuming it’s JSON but it defaults to ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’.

2. Your POST url expects a / at the end of its URL, and you’re posting to an endpoint without a /, which makes Django issue a redirect to the / URL. You can disable that by setting the APPEND_SLASH setting (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/settings/#append-slash), but really it’s best to always call all endpoints with ‘/’ at the end, so I’d say instead of posting with $.post(“apicall”, …), try $.post(“apicall/”, …) and see if that helps.

Otherwise, can you post the error that you get when you do try? both from the Django console and the Javascript console in Chrome?

Turns out it was wrapped in a form within the body of the HTML that I had not noticed. After removing the form wrapper it worked perfectly.
