I've been using this more or less this approach:
PYTHON:
t = loader.get_template('posts.html')
html = t.render(Context({ 'tweets' : tweets }))
data = { 'html': html, 'tweet_count': len(tweets) }
json = simplejson.dumps(data)
return HttpResponse(json, mimetype = 'application/javascript')
JAVASCRIPT, in your xhr callback fn:
var jsonObject = eval('(' + jsonString + ')');
var html = jsonObject.html; //now you can inject this into a
container
var listLength = jsonObject.tweet_count; //you can use the extra meta-
data too
Hope that helps,
Udi
