Does Making an AJAX call make a DJANGO form Invalid? - django

Question

I make an ajax call to my server using the change event on a select widget. Does this cause the Django Form to be invalid? Here is an example of the code.
JAVASCRIPT
<form class="form-horizontal" action="{% url 'accountSelections' %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
{{ account_selection_form|crispy }}
<input class="btn btn-primary" id="button" type="Submit" value="Next >>">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div id="grid"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>`
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#id_excludeClassification").SumoSelect();
var token = $('input[name="csrfmiddlewaretoken"]').prop('value');
$( "#id_acctFilterName" ).change(function() {
var data = "";
$.ajax({
type:"GET",
url : "../filter",
data : "id="+$(this).val(),
csrfmiddlewaretoken: token,
success : function(response) {
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
data: response,
height: 550,
groupable: true,
sortable: true,
columns: [
{
field: "acctCd",
title: "Code"
}, {
field: "shortName",
title: "Account Name"
}]
});
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: response
});
grid.dataSource = dataSource;
dataSource.read();
grid.refresh();
data = response;
return response;
},
error: function() {
alert('Error occured');
}
});
});
});
Does a form submit after cause this to make the form invalid?

Answer 1

My understanding is that you can submit multiple times with the same CSRF token, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 2

you put your csrfmiddlewaretoken variable out data object that you send to your server then it can't work.
Here is what you have to do :
data : {
id : $(this).val(),
csrfmiddlewaretoken: token,
}
