I had to do a few extended templates in django. For simplicity let’s call them base.html, blog_base.html, and blog.html. (blog extends blog_base, blog_base extends base). I have a few javascript files in base.html, which worked fine in blog_base.html, but when blog.html was loaded, no GET request was ever sent to retrieve the files.

I found that the only location for the tags that worked were in the section of base.html. This is odd to me because not a single other location I put these (even in blog.html) was able to load the static files. Is this a django problem or a javascript?
