ajax request to python script
===

i just tested out a script i made. it is in python. i use ajax, to send a request and try and get the result.

    function ajaxFunction(){
    	var ajaxRequest;
    	var e = document.getElementById("ktype");
    	var ktype = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
    	var acookie = document.getElementById("acookie").value;
    alert (ktype +"\n" + acookie);
    	try{
    		ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
    	} catch (e){
    		try{
    			ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    		} catch (e) {
    			try{
    				ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    			} catch (e){
    				return false;
    			}
    		}
    	}
    	ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
    		if (ajaxRequest.readyState < 4){
    			document.getElementById("resp").innerHTML = "<center><img src='loading.gif' style='max-width:60px; max-height:60px;'></center>";
    		}
    		if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
    			document.getElementById("resp").innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText;
    		}
    	}
    ajaxRequest.open("POST", "kindle.py", true);
    ajaxRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    ajaxRequest.send("amzcookie=" + acookie + "&ktype=" + ktype);
    }

the python script uses CGI. no web framework like django.

when i do this request it just prints the contents of the python file. no code is executed.
