python - How do I send a JavaScript confirm response over Django to a script to perform operations based on the response? -

i'm very new django , i'm trying build simple to-do application. i'm able display to-do list on webpage using html tables, able delete it, added new row @ end of every entry called "delete" href element, on click event sending js function pops confirmation user asking if wants delete it. i'm storing response in variable called response. now, question how send response across django able delete entry? have done far , not working. appreciated. thank you.

{% item in task %}     <tr>     <td>{{ item.task_name }}</td>     <td>{{ item.task_priority }}</td>     <td>{{ item.task_status }}</td>     <td>{{ item.target_date }}</td>     <td><a href="" onclick="return delete_function()">delete</a></td>         <p id="delete"></p>         </tr>     {% endfor %}      </table> <script>     function delete_function() {         var response = confirm("are sure want delete item?");         if (response == true){             response.post()         }     } </script> 

in views page, have function handle post method:

def view_task(request):     if request.method == 'get':         context = dict()         context['task'] = task.objects.all()         return render(request, 'todo/view_tasks.html', context)      if request.method == 'post':         task_name = request.post['task_name']         task.objects.delete(task_name)         task.objects.save() 

what doing wrong? also, explain me answer when , should use post , or @ least direct me answered questions same topic?

i don't think way solve problem,

try this:

in template.html:

<form method="post" action="">     {% csrf_token %}     <input type="submit" name="delete_amount" onclick="delete_me(event)" /> </form> 

in view.py:

#just in case have other form if 'delete_amount' in request.post:     # deleting query here     print('deleting amount') 

and in javascript.js:

<script> function delete_me(e) {      if(!confirm('are sure want delete this?')){           //prevent sending request when user clicked 'cancel'           e.preventdefault();      } }  </script> 

hope help!
