I had a similar problem here and I solved it by using a specific flag
for ajax queries + a context processor to mirror the value of the flag
in the template context.
In my base template I have a big {%if flag %} so all the logo, menus
and whatnot don't get rendered for ajax queries. But if you get the
same URL without the flag
you have the template content but also the top menus and stuff. I'm
not sure it's the most elegant solution but it's sure DRY. In some
cases I also used a type flag so
some search can be returned as either an html or a json list depending
GET flags. This is handled by a generic return_hml_or_json function
which looks into the request to determine the output format.
Hope that helps.
