Django has no response to anchor tag - django

Question

test
...
<div class="tab-pane " id="test">
<table>
...
</table>
</div>
When #test anchor is clicked, the behavior should be logged in the server. So in urls.py, I defined something like this
url(r'#test$', views.log())
or
url(r'.*#test$', views.log())
But it seems it doesn't work.
I have to use anchor here, because I don't want to refresh the page.
Any ideas?

Here is some JavaScript that takes links with a href attribute starting with # and makes a request to https://localhost:8000/<whatever was after the hash sign> whenever the links are clicked. It's not robust and it needs to be modified for your circumstances, but maybe it works as a starting point.
var hashLinks = document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="#"]');
var i;
function hashLinkClicked(event) {
var hash, url, request;
// You probably want to allow default link behaviour here
event.preventDefault();
hash = this.hash;
// Cut hash character out of URL
url = 'http:/localhost:8000/' + hash.slice(1);
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () { /* Handle response here */ };
request.open('GET', url);
request.send();
}
for (i = 0; i < hashLinks.length; i++) {
hashLinks[i].addEventListener('click', hashLinkClicked);
}
