Hope this will helpful:

var OSName="Unknown OS";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win")!=-1) OSName="Windows";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac")!=-1) OSName="MacOS";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("X11")!=-1) OSName="UNIX";
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Linux")!=-1) OSName="Linux";

alert('Your OS: '+OSName);

i want to sent a response for my form submit from server to client, that means python flask to javascript. My javascript code is given follows

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function(tab) {
  d = document;
  var f = d.createElement('form');
  f.action = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/Get%20Form/';
  f.method = 'post';
  var i = d.createElement('input');
  i.type = 'hidden';
  i.name = 'url';
  i.value = tab.url;
  f.appendChild(i);
  d.body.appendChild(f);
  f.submit();   
});
$(".button").click(function(){
    request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    request.open("POST","http://127.0.0.1:5000/PutValue/",true);
    request.send();
    request.addEventListener("readystatechange", processRequest,false);
    function processRequest(e)
    {
    if(request.readyState==4 && request.status == 200)
    {
    var response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
    a=response.result
    alert(a);
    }
    }
});
},false);

And my Python server code is follows

from flask import Flask, flash, redirect, url_for, request, render_template,jsonify
import json
import UrlTest
import trainingSet as ts

app = Flask(__name__)
user=""
s=0

@app.route('/Get Form/',methods = ['POST'])
def GetForm():
request.method == 'POST'
url=request.form['url']
UrlTest.process_test_url(url,'test_features.csv')
s=ts.main_caller('url_features.csv','test_features.csv')
print s
return str(s)

@app.route('/PutValue/',methods = ['POST'])
def PutValue():
request.method == 'POST'
print s
return jsonify(result=s)


if (__name__ == '__main__'):
app.run(debug=True,host='0.0.0.0', use_reloader=False)
