Using the code listed (return render_to_response....) is going to
cause a page refresh (a synchronous operation), if you are trying to
use ajax (asynchronously), you should stick the html from the form and
the entry into a json or xml object to return to your javascript
callback. This is assuming that you are asynchronously submitting the
form. I am building an app right now that relies heavily on async
connectivity (I am using portions of the YUI in the browser) and I
use
form_object = render_to_response(template, 'form': form)
to format my forms normally, but stick the form_object._container into
a response_dict before calling simplejson.dumps(response_dict) on it
to format it into json for my callback.
