jquery - Not seeing submitted data in Django when I do an Ajax post -

this html page:

<div> <form id="assignment_form" action="/submit-assignments/" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">     {% csrf_token %}     <!-- fields here -->     <select id="user_list" multiple='multiple' size="10">     {% u in users %}         <option value="{{ u.iduser }}" >{{ u.get_long_name }}</option>     {% endfor %}     </select>     <select id="assigned_list" multiple='multiple' size="10" style="width: 200px">     </select>     <input id="assign" type="submit" value="assign"/></input> </form> </div> <script type="text/javascript">     $(document).ajaxsend(function(event, xhr, settings) {         //cookies stuff     }      $(document).ready(function() {         $("#assignment_form").submit(function(event){             event.preventdefault();             $.ajax({                 type:"post",                 url:"/brewkeep/submit-assignments/",                 data: $("#assignment_form").serialize(),                 success: function(data) {                      alert(data);                 }             });        });     }); </script> 

this django view:

def submit_assignments(request):     print request.post     return httpresponse("success!") 

after click assign button, @ screen output, see printed:

<querydict: {u'csrfmiddlewaretoken': [u'lqswcqdmt8ygobqpbmw8b8mfebc9zyeo']}> 

how access submitted data?

thanks!

your selects must have name attribute:

<select id="user_list" name="user_list" multiple='multiple'  size="10"> {% u in users %}     <option value="{{ u.iduser }}" >{{ u.get_long_name }}</option> {% endfor %} </select> <select id="assigned_list" name="assigned_list" multiple='multiple' size="10" style="width: 200px"> </select> 

 

html specification:

a successful control must defined within form element , must have control name.

w3schools <input> name attribute:

note: form elements name attribute have values passed when submitting form.
