This is what AJAX is for. Get your Javascript to make a request to the
server via XMLHTTPRequest, or whatever shortcuts your library of
choice provides. The request should call a normal Django view which
does whatever you need in the usual way, and provides a response back
to the client-side Javascript either as XML, JSON or even ready-
formatted HTML.
So, using jQuery for example:
$('.myelement').click(function() {
$.post('/my-django-view/', {element: $(this).attr(id)}, function()
{
.... whatever actions you want the js to do on response ...
}
}
);
