jquery, json and forms

[David]

Hello

I have a form that saves, and displays errors correctly when using javascript and without.

However, when my form saves I need to refresh the form with the new form data. How can I pass the form object through json back to my template please?

Thank you for any help.

One approach is to pass json/html data in the response after saving and
use jQuery to update the page.

It sounds like you want to initialize your form in the view. You can also do this by passing an initial keyword argument to the form constructor:

    exampleform = ExampleForm(initial={"examplefield": request.user.first_name})

This would set the examplefield of ExampleForm to the requesting user's first name.
