how to use a jquery post inside a django submit form

Question

I have a view which is something like this

def post_details(request,id):  
    if request.method== POST:  
        form=SubmitForm(request.POST)  
        if form.is_valid():

Now one of the things the form is supposed to do is register a user automatically, and then send the details to another page. I have on click of submit button a javascript whcih essentially does do registering part. The code is given below. But after registering the user does not come back to the form, and complete rest of the job at hand, such as redirect also with data to another page. What should I do? It registers, and then stays on the page.

Jquery code is here in the pastebin

The advantage of jQuery is that you don't need to refresh or re-direct users to a new page. Since you're already doing that it kind of defeats the purpose of jQuery, so why not just handle the user registration and any other functions in the view?

This is a UI requirement. I dont have much of a say

i see, in that case could you re-direct the user to the next page as part of your .ajax() success function? something like window.location.href = nextpage might do the trick.
