Question

I am trying to partial load a page with jquery.

I don’t understand why row.load() always sends a request.POST when I click on the link, where it should really have sent a request.GET. Is there anything I have overlooked?

html:

<a class="row_edit" href="/sales_item/edit/{{ item.id }}" title="{% trans 'Edit' %}"><i class="icon-pencil"> </i></a>

javascript:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $(".row_edit").click(row_edit);
});

function row_edit() {
    // e.g. url = '/sales_item/edit/8' 
    var url = $(this).attr("href");
    var row = $(this).closest('tr')
    row.load(
        url + "/",
        null,
        function () {
            $("#save-form").submit(row_save); 
        }
    );
    return false;
}

From the .load() docs:

The POST method is used if data is provided as an object; otherwise,
GET is assumed.

Just omit the null arg.
