I am facing a weird issue in Openstack webapp where i am trying to refresh the tabbed content, however i end up appending the refreshed tab content to the the HTML DOM.
The flow of the code is simple except that i donot understand how the HTML is being attached to DOM instead of the existing tab.
The code flow is:
foo.get --->TabView.get --> TabView.handle_tabbed_response.
I desire that the tab be updated and not the DOM,
What have i done:
Class foo((tabs.TabView):
tab_group_class = (barTabs)
template_name = 'project/xyz/index.html'
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
######## Business Logic
thelper = business_logic(request)
thelper.add_data(request)
return super(foo, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
def get_initial(self):
initial = super(foo, self).get_initial()
return initial
class TabView(generic.TemplateView):
"""

response.render()
return response
Please help.
