    <p><strong>Edited out silly mistake</strong></p> <p>I am using AJAX to access a python script, get some TEXT from the python script &amp; display it on my webpage. </p> <p><strong>My Problem:</strong> is that the response text is this "undefined" when it should be this "bbbb"</p> <p><em>I am confused as to where I am going wrong? Is it my python script is incorrect (not handling AJAX (?requests?) correctly), is it my javascript or is it my WSGI server I made?</em></p> <p>HTML &amp; Javascript:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; &lt;!-- function post( dest, params ) { var xmlhttp; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 &amp;&amp; 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 ); } --&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p id="bb"&gt; abcdef &lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="javascript:onTest()"&gt;Click it&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>My python script:</p> <pre><code>import cgitb; cgitb.enable() import cgi import os input_data = cgi.FieldStorage() print "bbbb" #print "you said: " + input_data['email'] </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
