I have a Django project where I'm trying to run a JS/AJAX script when a dropdown changes value. The same code works well for a button, but not for the dropdown.
Here is the html code with the button, the dropdown and finally the script:
<button class="toChange">AJAX POST TEST</button>
<select class="toChange">
{% for item in regions %}
<option val="{{ item }}" {% ifequal item reg %} selected {% endifequal %}> {{ item }} </option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(".toChange").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
});
});
EDIT1: adding views.py and amending my dropdown to reflect it properly as I might have oversimplified my example.
def MyView(request):
result_r = request.POST.get('reg')
if request.method == 'POST' and request.is_ajax:
result_r = request.POST.get('reg')
query_results = data_immo.objects.all()
regions = data_immo.objects.values_list("nom_reg", flat=True).distinct().order_by('nom_reg')
departements = data_immo.objects.values_list("insee_dep").filter(Q(nom_reg=result_r)).distinct()
query_results_dict = {
'query_results': query_results,
'regions': regions,
'departements': departements,
'reg': result_r
}
return render(request,'home.html', query_results_dict)
Why would it work with the button and not the dropdown? I'm really new to this, so do idea what is wrong. Thanks!
