Hi,

I'm trying to convert a server side AJAX response script in to an Django HttpResponse, but apparently it's not working.

This is the server-side script /* RECEIVE VALUE */ $validateValue=$_POST['validateValue']; $validateId=$_POST['validateId']; $validateError=$_POST['validateError'];

        /* RETURN VALUE */
        $arrayToJs = array();
        $arrayToJs[0] = $validateId;
        $arrayToJs[1] = $validateError;

    if($validateValue =="Testuser"){        // validate??
        $arrayToJs[2] = "true";         // RETURN TRUE
        echo '{"jsonValidateReturn":'.json_encode($arrayToJs).'}';          // RETURN ARRAY WITH success
    }else{
        for($x=0;$x<1000000;$x++){
            if($x == 990000){
                $arrayToJs[2] = "false";
                echo '{"jsonValidateReturn":'.json_encode($arrayToJs).'}';      // RETURN ARRAY WITH ERROR
            }
        }

    }

And this is the converted code

def validate_user(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        vld_value = request.POST.get('validateValue')
        vld_id = request.POST.get('validateId')
        vld_error = request.POST.get('validateError')

        array_to_js = [vld_id, vld_error, False]

        if vld_value == "TestUser":
            array_to_js[2] = True
            x = simplejson.dumps(array_to_js)
            return HttpResponse(x)
        else:
            array_to_js[2] = False
            x = simplejson.dumps(array_to_js)
            test = 'Error'
            return render_to_response('index.html',{'error':error},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
    return render_to_response('index.html',context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I'm using simplejson to encode the Python list (so it will return a json array).Coudn't figure out the problem yet.But I think that I did something wrong about the 'echo'. Anyway I'm expecting an good answer it will help me a lot.

Thanks.
