processing POST data from jquery

[het.oosten]

I am trying to get a jquery form validator working. I am stuck now
trying to work with the POST data. When i use a simple view for
testing:

def Code(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
                message = request.POST
                data = dict(ok=True, msg=message)
                from django.utils import simplejson
                return
HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(data),mimetype='application/json')

The returned json is:
{"msg": {"code": [""]}, "ok": true}

This should be:
{"msg": "code", "ok": true}

The javascripts sends a POST with a dictionary containing an empty
key. How should i handle the post data?



I am trying to work out an example from this page:
http://jqueryfordesigners.com/using-ajax-to-validate-forms/

Here is the javascript i use:

$(document).ready(function () {
  var validateUsername = $('#validatecode');
  $('#id_code').keyup(function () {
    var t = this;
    if (this.value != this.lastValue) {
      if (this.timer) clearTimeout(this.timer);
      validateUsername.removeClass('error').html('<img src="/media/
plaatjes/ajax-loader.gif" height="16" width="16" /> check$

      this.timer = setTimeout(function () {
        $.ajax({
          url: '/code-validatie/',
        data: t.value,
          dataType: 'json',
          type: 'post',
          success: function (j) {
            validateUsername.html(j.msg);
          }
        });
      }, 200);

      this.lastValue = this.value;
    }
  });
});
