invoke POST method from javascript

[Simon]

I am trying to post data to a web server from javascript on a web page
without submitting the form.
The only way I can find to do this is using IWinHttpRequest which is limited
to MS platforms and having the active-x component installed and allowed to
run in the browser.
There must be a way?

Thanks in advance, Simon
