request.is_ajax() not working

hi there i am trying a simple example using AJAX, DJANGO, JQUERY, JSON and my if request.is_ajax() is not working for some reason.. here is my code:

URLS: (r'api/newdoc/$', 'rose_miracle.views.newdoc'),

VIEW:

def newdoc(request):

    # only process POST request

    print "entrei"

    if request.is_ajax():

        print "entrei2"                         _#this is not working

        data= dict(request.POST)

        print data

                # save data to db

        return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps([True]))

        

    return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps([False]))

js:

$(document).ready(function(){

    

   

alert("ya");

$.post("api/newdoc/", function(data) {

        alert(data);

    });

}

i added this in a file as well, dont know how it works though https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#ajax

the print in my request.is_ajax()  is now working, what im i doing wrong??
