You could try sometings like this:

$(function(){
    $.post("{% url delete %}", {"ids[]": anSelected}, function(res){
    if(res.ok){
        // remove rows from your table, maybe :)
        // oTable.fnDeleteRow(anSelected);
      }else{
        alert(res.errors); 
      } 
    });
})

On the server:

@ajax_request
def test(request):
    ids = request.POST.getlist("ids[]")
    try:
        Items.objects.filter(id__in=ids).delete()
    except:
        return {"ok": False, "errors": "your error"}
    return {"ok": True}

the @ajax_request decorators is from https://bitbucket.org/offline/django-annoying/wiki/Home and let you return json response.
