You might want to also read up on extjs to see the best way to change
the URL of the page or open it in a new window rather than grab the
response text and place it in MessageBox.alert, which is what you're
asking it do here:
Ext.MessageBox.alert(_("Success"), xhr.responseText);
But Jonathan's right -- if you correct the javascript and are still
having a server-side issue, it would be better to contact the cherrypy
list.
