Okay, so you _are_ using the tabs' ajax mode.

Because the browser client is still doing a normal form post and
therefore it shows the server's response as a whole new toplevel page,
presumably.

Rewrite newsite.mealplan.courseviews.categories the django view ? No
need to do much there, at least if you're going with the method I
suggested (using the jquery-form plugin), maybe some small changes to
the categories.html django template (only a html fragment, it's one
place you could put the ajaxification script since jquery takes pains
Please take a close look at this example:
http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#html
As you can see, you can use the plugin to hijack a form submission into
an ajax [xmlhttp]request, and then put the server's (django's) response
back into a particular place in the document (right back into the
relevant tab being an obvious choice!)
There certainly are a number of other approaches possible, but that one
is a one-liner or close enough and, well, you have already gone down the
ajax path.

cookies were relevant if you were re-rendering the whole of base.html
with the tabs in a view that you'd redirected to or something and wanted
the client to remember to switch to the tab it had used last time it
showed the response.
