I was obviously waiting for your reply only.
Ok Anthony I got what you said. But how do I get a variable through an ajax
call? Ajax only updates a tag id, right?
How do I edit this to make it work?
in controller:
def index():
return locals()
in model:
def retimage():
from random import randint
i=randint(0,2)
return URL('static','images/%d.jpg' %(i))
in view:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<script>
window.setInterval(function(){
{{getimage=retimage()}}
document.body.style.background-image = url("{{=getimage}}");
}, 500);
</script>
I am confused on how to get a variable value though ajax calls. Please help
me on this.
