I am using Django to create a small web app, however I do not know where i must put my HTML and JS files. I don’t want to use the templateing system because I have no need to pass the values from Django directly to the HTML template, Instead the HTML will be static and I will fetch all the data necessary and send the data to be input back into the database using AJAX with Jquery.

My Question is where must I put my HTMl and JS files so they are accessible from the web browser and will be in the same directory so that I can send my ajax requests to something like

http://localhost:2000/webapp/RPC/updateitem/ (more stuff here)

and where the HTML files are 

http://localhost:2000/webapp/index.html

Thanks,
RayQuang

    You let your main webserver (the one you’re running django on) deal with the static files. In most cases this means that you simly server the files through apache (or lighttpd or cherrypy or whatever). Django is only ment for the rendering of dynamic things and thus should not be used for serving static files.

    If you’re running from a development server (which I can’t recommend), this tutorial will help you through setting it up: Serving static files
