submit a form without refresh

[ramiab1]

Hello all,

How is it possible to submit a form using javascript, without refreshing the window?
How is it possible to make an http request "behind the scenes" without refreshing the browser? (using document.location.href=<URL> will refresh the window)

thank you,

Rami

For second question, use ajax.

And to submit a form using javascript I think it is:
document.getElementsByTagName('FORM')[0].submit()

In case the site goes down: here's an example:

JavaScript Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeText2(){
var userInput = document.getElementById('userInput').value;
document.getElementById('boldStuff2').innerHTML = userInput;
}
</script>
<p>Welcome to the site <b id='boldStuff2'>dude</b> </p>
<input type='text' id='userInput' value='Enter Text Here' />
<input type='button' onclick='changeText2()' value='Change Text'/>
