Something is wrong in the function.
I defined a test js function in View.
function alrt(mesg) {
alert(mesg) };
And in Controller,
return "alrt('Hello World!');"
It works.
The actual js function is---
(it sees which value of select box matches the one returned from
controller; then sets the value of select box to that value).
function selbx(elementID, value_returned_from_dataset){
for (i=0;i<document.getElementById(elementID).length;i++)
{
if (value_returned_from_dataset ==
document.getElementById(elementID).options(i).text)
{document.getElementById(elementID).options(i).selected = true;
}}}
In controller---
return "selbx('id_of_element','%s');" % dict_obj['freq']
dict_obj['freq'] is non-blank.
It is a string itself.

If individual code-lines are returned, it works.

Any guess why so?
