I have a simple question: What is the Quixote
   equivalent of the following ASP script
   <%
   response.write(time)
   %>

   I tried
   def testajax [plain](self):
      print "debugging:returning time value"
      return "%s" % time.time()

   with "testajax" in my _q_exports list. The function
   testajax is called as gleaned from the error log,
   but all I get is  a Page not found
   error in my test browser.

   I think the user page expects a simple string response
   not a complete html page. I don't want to use a static file just
  for ths. Here is a part of the user page:
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=function()
         {
         if(xmlHttp.readyState==4)
           {
           document.myForm.time.value=xmlHttp.responseText;
           }
         }
       xmlHttp.open("GET","testajax",true);
       xmlHttp.send(null);
     }

   I am exploring plain AJAX before I try Mochikit and
   other tools.
