hi,

In views.py
def showfiledata(request):
with open("/home/tazim/webexample/tmp.txt") as f:
read_data = f.read()
f.closed
return_dict = {'filedata':read_data}
json = simplejson.dumps(return_dict)
return HttpResponse(json,mimetype="application/json")

In the template:
< html>
< head>
< script type="text/javascript" src="/jquerycall/"> < script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("button").click(function()
{

          $.ajax({  
                   type:"POST",  
                   url:"/showfiledata/",  
                   datatype:"json",  
                   success:function(data)  
                           {  
                              var s = data.filedata;  
                              $("#someid").html(s);  
                           }  


                });  
     });  

});  

< /script>
< /head> < body> < form method="post"> < button type="button">Click Me< /button> < div id="someid">< /div> < /form> < /body> < /html>

I am suppose to display file line by line . But, right now the lines get displayed withoout any linebreaks.
