Question

How do I use upload_response below in my html/jquery to check if it is true or not, and display some text accordingly without going to a new page?

fileupload.py file:

  template = loader.get_template('start_interview.html')
  context = Context({ 'upload_response': 'True'})
  return HttpResponse(template.render(context))

You will need to use something like jquery for the ajax part.

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "<your url to the view that returns appropriate template>",
  data: { name: "John", location: "Boston" }
}).done(function( responseMsg ) {
  $('#notifier').html(responseMsg)
});

The responseMsg will be the rendered template. There is more than one way to do the above.

In your template

{%if upload_response %}
 ...Your html tags or jquery if inside script block...
{%else%}
 ...Do Stuff if it is false...
{%endif%}
