In a situation such as this, I use DHTML (document.createElement) to
instantiate a new SCRIPT element whose SRC is pointed to a
GET-parameterized Webware servlet. The servlet responds as appopriate
to the GET parameters with some generated JavaScript code (content-type
text/javascript), which the browser runs as soon as it's loaded. This
code typically updates the user interface in some way via DHTML.
It works splendidly, at least for my purposes.

function createScriptWithSource(src) {
var scriptEl = document.createElement('script');
scriptEl.setAttribute('language', 'javascript');
scriptEl.src = src;
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
head.appendChild(scriptEl);
}

function autodetectUSStateAbbrevFromLongName(el, addrPrefix) {
var src = 'client_lookup_state.py?'
+ 'state=' + escape(el.value)
+ '&target_state=' + addrPrefix + '_address_state'
;
createScriptWithSource(src);
}
