Question

I was wondering what is the correct approach,

Do I create HiddenInput fields in my ModelForm and from the
View I pass in the primaryKey for the models I am about to edit into
the hiddenInput fields and then grab those hiddenInput fields from
the AJAX script to use it like this?

item.load(
        "/bookmark/save/" + hidden_input_field_1,
        null,
        function () {
          $("#save-form").submit(bookmark_save);
        }
);

Or is there is some more clever way of doing it and I have no idea?

Thanks

I just asked in the django IRC room and it says:

since js isn’t processed by the django template engine, this is not
possible.

Hence the id or the object passed in from django view can’t be accessed within AJAX script.
