Following js is also included in the page :

    var cm = window.cm = CodeMirror($('#editor').get(0), {

        lineNumbers: !detect.isMobile,
    });

    var mime;
    $("#mode").on("change", function() {
        mime = $("#mode option:selected").prop("id");
        var mode = CodeMirror.findModeByMIME(mime).mode;
        cm.setOption("mode", mode);
        CodeMirror.autoLoadMode(cm, mode);
    });

    $("#submit").on("click", function(e) {               // on submtting make the editor readonly
        //alert($("#name").value());
        e.preventDefault();

Cannot provide Wild characters in ID or Class....
You can provide that in value attribute.. probably this is what you intend to do.

This
id="application/pgp"
to
value="application/pgp"

On Changing id to value still i get the error :
Error: Permission denied to access property "toString"
<option value="text/x-cassandra" > CQL</option>

Also in documentation it just says that HTML id attribute should not contain spaces.
Doesnt mention anything about wild cards.

In js file; changed this?

$("#mode").on("change", function() {
        mime = $("#mode option:selected").prop("id");

$("#mode").on("change", function() {
        mime = $("#mode option:selected").prop("value");

1. is your ajax request to another domain ? do you have cross domain request ?
2. replace the line
var objectTobeSent = {};
with this one
var objectTobeSent;
