Sending csrf_token in JQuery .post method

Question

How do alter my existing JQuery to pass a crsf_token to my django view;

$.post('/historicaldata/input_parameters/', 
            { selected_table: selected_table, selected_column: selected_column, selected_SDT: selected_SDT, selected_EDT: selected_EDT},
            function(data){

I currently recieve a 403 error when I try to post.

Thanks!

Did you read [the documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/csrf/#ajax), where this is explicitly covered? — Daniel Roseman, Jul 29 '14 at 09:31
I did try this before, by copying and calling the function, but the error persisted. i reverted to the template theat includes this and tried again but same error. what else could be causing it? — Mark Corrigan, Jul 29 '14 at 09:58
@DanielRoseman would you like a copy of more to see if you ca figure out the problem — Mark Corrigan, Jul 29 '14 at 10:02
@DanielRoseman actually don't worry about it Michael Tabor fixed it — Mark Corrigan, Jul 29 '14 at 10:17

where was the typo? in the csrf_token script? – Mark Corrigan Jul 29 '14 at 10:12
Instead of 'csrfmiddlewaretoken' I wrote 'scrfmiddlewaretoken', in ajax params. – Michał Tabor Jul 29 '14 at 10:13
