AJAX & Python: Response text from python script is an object -


edited out silly mistake

i using ajax access python script, text python script & display on webpage.

my problem: response text "undefined" when should "bbbb"

i confused going wrong? python script incorrect (not handling ajax (?requests?) correctly), javascript or wsgi server made?

html & javascript:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 transitional//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>     <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />     <script type="text/javascript">     <!--         function post( dest, params )         {             var xmlhttp;              if (window.xmlhttprequest)             {// code ie7+, firefox, chrome, opera, safari                 xmlhttp=new xmlhttprequest();             }             else             {// code ie6, ie5                 xmlhttp=new activexobject("microsoft.xmlhttp");             }              xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()             {                 if (xmlhttp.readystate==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)                 {                     return xmlhttp.responsetext;                 }             }              xmlhttp.open("post",dest,true);             xmlhttp.setrequestheader("content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");             xmlhttp.send( params );          }           function ontest()         {             var response = post( "cgi/aaa.py", "email=blah" );             var output   = document.getelementbyid( "bb" );              output.innerhtml = response;             alert( response );         }     -->     </script> </head>  <body>      <p id="bb"> abcdef </p>     <a href="javascript:ontest()">click it</a>  </body>  </html> 

my python script:

import cgitb; cgitb.enable() import cgi import os   input_data   = cgi.fieldstorage()  print "bbbb" #print "you said: " + input_data['email'] 

you getting undefined because did post , didn't wait response come back. alert call should inside status change, have return xmlhttp.responsetext; right now. remember, javascript functions (except alert ironically) don't block.
