jquery - passing variable from javascript to server (django) -

i trying send users current location variable (after user clicks allow) browser django server using jquery's post method. current location stored in variable pos.

$(document).ready(function(){     $.post("/location", pos) }); 

in django, i've created url /location in urls.py captures pos variable in views.py through request.post(pos), use carryout distance lookups.

i see variable not being passed django server, can please advise going wrong ?

i have assigned javascript location variable(pos) in google geolocation api input element (id= "location") in html form using below code

document.getelementbyid('location').value = pos 

below html form

<form id = "geolocation" action="/location" method="post" >             {% csrf_token %}         <input type="text" id = "location" name="location" value="" />         <input type="submit" />  </form> 

then within google geolocation api, auto submit form adding below line of code

document.getelementbyid("geolocation").submit();  

finally within django views.py file, use 'post' method obtain location client side within function using variable

user_location = request.post.get('location') 

here a link google geolocation api.

i've inserted excerpt code, may know i've used above lines of javascript code in google geolocation api.

var infowindow = new google.maps.infowindow({     map: map,     position: pos,     content: 'location found using html5.'   });   // below line has been inserted assign js variable html input field called 'geolocation'  document.getelementbyid('location').value = pos map.setcenter(pos); // below line has been inserted autosubmit form.   document.getelementbyid("geolocation").submit();
