    $(\'form input[type=\"text\"]\').live(\'k         


        

Answer 1

Above is the markup outputted by django. You want to grab the value of SOME_TOKEN. You will not be able to get it using the django template engine mixed with javascript since it will already be rendered into the input hidden.

I would wrap my {{ csrf_token }} in a span/div and then use jquery to locate that span/div and grab the value of the input inside the span/div.
