If num isn't in the URL and it isn't a GET/POST parameter, where is it
coming from?
For front end of AJAX, use whatever Javascript lib/code you like, Jquery
is my choice. Django doesn't come with or dictate a particular one. The
back end, Django part, of AJAX works exactly like any other view but
return JSON or XML data instead of HTML.
def my_view(request)
data = simplejson.dumps(Model.objects.filter(somefilter=whatever))
return HttpResponse(data, mimetype="text/javascript")
