Pass array from HTML to Django application

I developed an application in JSPs and Servlets involving drop down menus that kept growing with how m开发者_Python百科any authors per publication their were.

This was done in JavaScript and then in my application iterated through them using a loop. Is this possible using Django? This would be useful in my application.

Or have a look at this stackoverflow question/awnser:

What is the best AJAX library for Django?

In any case, you need to serialize your array to a JSON string. Then pass the JSON with an XMLHTTPRequest (ajax) to the server.

Add the javascript tag to your question if you don't mind more JS solutions. Otherwise look for a Django Ajax framework to do the heavy lifting for you.
