在JQuery append（）中映射Django URL

Question

I am appending an anchor tag dynamically after an AJAX call completes, but I'm not able to set the href attribute of it as a Django URL. Here's my code:

$maincontent.append("<a id='resultslink'>Get results here</a>");
$('#resultslink').attr('href', "{% url 'results' %}");

Django gives the following error -

The current path, InitialWebApp/hdfs/{%, didn't match any of these.

Apparently, Django thinks {% is the href value.

To resolve the url using the url template tag requires that the template be rendered again which doesn't happen after your AJAX call.

You can either hardcode the url or have the resolved url returned as part of the payload from the server for each AJAX call.
