I want to show a JavaScript alert box when there is an error during login (wrong password or username), and reload the page. How can I do this from the Django template?
This is along the lines of what I had in mind:
[% if messages %}
<div class="javascript:alert">
{{ somemessage }}
</div>
{% endif %} Put your alert call inside a script tag like this:
[% if messages %}
<script>
alert({{ somemessage }})
</script>
{% endif %}
