Django template language is just a template that is all done on the server
side of things. Javascript is client side and doesn't care about the django
template. It thinks (rightly so) that this is just a static web page.
So when you use variables from a Django template, you have to expect all the
output to be written literally. So the proper way to do this with the
javascript you gave is by putting quotes around the variable:
alert('{{ Your Variable }}')
Now when you view source, that is what Django is sending to your browser and
your browser then executes the javascript.
I hope that helps,
Michael
