Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Intro to Unintrusive JavaScript with Django, here is a quick summary:

The steps of the novice web developer are fraught with peril. They begin with HTML, then move onto CSS. They learn a web framework or two, and they finally start to wrangle with JavaScript. This tutorial aims to help the developer who has taken their first steps with Django, and wants to begin experimenting with adding JavaScript and Ajax to their webapps.

The tutorial's interesting, but I ran into a problem that I can't figure out.

In the set-up for the args being passed to $.ajax(), you have complete:done. I understand what that is supposed to accomplish, but don't get where the arguments being passed to done come from. At no point do you seem to set a variable equal to "success" (or res, for that matter). Are the arguments to done() part of the callback pattern the ajax request uses?

If this helps, when I run the note_list page, I get an error saying that the slug I've entered is already in use every time I hit the submit button.
