Using Ajax and Django conditions to display an html variable - ajax

Question

I'm new to using Ajax calls with Django. Im trying to implement a simple Display or not display depending on the type of get called by Ajax:
Views:
def dynamic(request):
context = {}
if request.method == 'GET':
if 'backtest_type' in request.GET:
context['display_details'] = False
print ('Im not displaying')
elif 'change_val' in request.GET:
context['display_details'] = True
print ('Im displaying')
else:
context['display_details'] = False
return render(request, "demo/dynamic.html", context)
In my template:
{% extends 'demo/base.html' %}
{% block body %}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/dynamic.css' %}">
<script>
$(document).on('click','#id_backtest_type', function () {
console.log( $(this).val() );
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
data: {'backtest_type': 1},
success: function (data) {
console.log('data sent ' + data);
},
failure: function(data) {
alert('Got an error dude');
}
});
});
$(document).on('click','#btnClick', function () {
// console.log( $(this).val() );
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
data: {'change_val': 1},
success: function (data) {
console.log('data sent ' + data);
failure: function(data) {
alert('Got an error dude');
}
});
});
</script>
<div>
{% if display_details %}
<h1>I'm diplaying</h1>
{% endif %}
</div>
<div id="btnClick" class="col-sm-4">
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified" role="group">
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Don't Display</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="id_backtest_type" class="col-sm-4">
<div class="btn-group btn-group-justified" role="group">
<div class="btn-group" role="group">
<button class="btn btn-secondary" type="button">Display!</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
From the console I'm sure that the get requests are being correctly sent using ajax (the get requests are being sent and the console prints the statements:
[09/Feb/2019 20:00:56] "GET /dynamic/?backtest_type=1 HTTP/1.1" 200
6530
Im displaying
However, even if the ajax call works correctly, the template doesn't end up rendering <h1>I'm diplaying</h1>. Am I misunderstanding anything about Ajax?
Thanks in advance!
