I'm working on an app which makes extensive use of AJAX. I'm also
using named URLs so I don't have to hard-code URLs into my templates.

The problem is that if a URL pattern requires extra info after the
path, my templates don't render, because the extra parameters aren't
known until the user makes a selection.

The obvious solution is to make two URL patterns for each of these
URLs -- one with no extra parameters and one with. Then change the
former into the latter in the app by AJAX.

Is there a better way to do this?

Example:

    #urls.py:
    url(r'^update_payment/(?P<payment_id>\w+)', update_payment, name =
'update_payment'),

    #template:
    <a href="{% url update_payment %}">Update Payment</a> {# this
expects a second argument I don't know yet #}

Thanks,
Shawn
