Is this embedded within a full html page?  (I.e., is it wrapped with 
at least <html></html> tags?)  If not, that may be the problem.

Also, Python is much pickier than VB/Jscript about specifying the full 
namespace of objects.  Where's this alert() coming from?  You may need 
to specify it as belonging to the document or the application object.
