Ajax, Django, Jquery Model Form - django

Question

Built a successful working ModelForm and its fully functional.
My next step was to add Ajax to it and it also worked out pretty well. The Jquery that I used was 1.3.2 version which is pretty old but it worked.
The problem came up when I tried to add bootstrap 2 DATE fields.
Using CHECKIN & CHECKOUT values that I have added to my form and it worked.
It required higher version of jquery so I used the recent one 1.9.1.
But when I used it my form is working except 1 little issues when I submit the form
and there not filled out required fields it will show me those fields but SUBMIT button is
disabled. When I use jquery 1.3.2 all is working 100% except the 2 fields for Bootstrap
DATEPICKER that requires higher jquery version.
Input Fields in the Form: Departure & Return are Date Picker Fields
I didnt include the Bootstrap Scripts they are same from the Bootsrap site.
When I use:
<script src="/media/js/jquery/1.9.1.jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Departure & Return are Date Picker Fields are Working but after submitting it with empty
other fields - it will show you which fields are required but Submit button is disabled.
If I use:
<script src="/media/js/jquery/1.3.2.jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Form is working with ajax 100% but I cant use Departure & Return are Date Picker Fields
(which give me choice to select date - I have to manually type it).
For reference I used this tutorial.
Look at the Category ModelForm Ajax
My question is I can I achieve this form to be working on 1.9.1 Jquery Version with also Date
picker Fields that I can choosed from the calendar.
At the bottom I am including screenshots.
Here is the code:
MODELS.PY

('multi-leg', 'Multi-Leg'),

trip_type = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=TRIP_TYPES, default='one way')

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

I managed to solve the problem, the problem was with the newest jquery using different variables. Updated the code above with the answer.
Here is the code:
TEMPLATES:
<script type="text/javascript">
// prepare the form when the DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#add_cat").ajaxStart(function() {
// Remove any errors/messages and fade the form.
$(".form_row").removeClass("errors");
$(".form_row_errors").html('');
$("#add_cat").fadeTo('slow', 0.33);
$("#add_cat_btn").attr("disabled", "disabled");
$("#message").addClass('hide');
});
// Submit the form with ajax.
$("#add_cat").submit(function(){
$.post(
// Grab the action url from the form.
"#add_cat.getAttribute('action')",
// Serialize the form data to send.
$("#add_cat").serialize(),
// Callback function to handle the response from view.
function(resp, testStatus) {
$(".form_row").removeClass("errors");
$("#trip_type_errors").html("");
