Keep URL while surfing data Structure in Django web app
I would suggest looking into forms on the Django documentation site. When the user submits the form the appropriate file structure information will be passed to your view code. The view code can then pass the new file structure information to your template. The template will create the forms and the process will start over again.
I am attempting to create a django based website.  The goal of one part of the site is to show the contents of a database in reference to its file structure.  
I would like to keep the URL the same while traveling deeper into the file structure, as opposed to developing another view for each level of the file structure a person goes into.
The simplest way I can think to achieve this is to pass the current directory path in the request variable but I am not sure how to do this or if it is possible since it would have to be linked in the html file, and not the view file that is written in python.  
If you are able to at very least point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
