The following code in one of my views returns unescaped html string which cannot be parsed in frontend since it is an Ajax request.
return render_to_response(template_name, {
'form': form,
redirect_field_name: redirect_to,
'site': current_site,
'site_name': current_site.name,
}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
What is the simplest way to correct this ? Thanks in advance..
To return just plain HTML to the client from within your view, use django.http.HttpResponse
from django.http import HttpResponse
def view(request)
# Do stuff here
output = '''
<html>
<head>
<title>Hey mum!</title>
</head>
</html>'''
return HttpResponse(output)
To prevent the Django templating system from escaping HTML in a template, just use the |safe filter:
response = "<img src='cats.png'/>"
# Meanwhile, in the template...
<div id="response">
{{response|safe}}
</div>
It should escape by default.
But, if you want to, you can explicitly force escaping.
from django.utils.safestring import mark_for_escaping
return HttpResponse(mark_for_escaping(loader.render_to_string(""""Render Response Syntax"""))
