this decorator will render template and encode it as JSON string if it find ajax_request variable in GET. It will not parse parent (extended) templates, only given template and nested (included). Only blocks will be rendered and encoded to JSON naming blockBLOCKNAME. Simple javascript can do ajax request adding ?ajax_request or &ajax_request (if needed) and update given html elements if they id's are same as blockBLOCKNAME. you can find a full code (including javascript) at my (http://projects.barbuza.info/trac/browser/django_addons/django_ajax/trunk/ sandbox).
