You will have to use $.ajax() for that

• http://www.sitepoint.com/ajax-jquery/

this is what I use in one of my apps

$('#submitSearch').click(function() {

        var formData = {
            searchData: $('#searchData').val(),
        };

        $.ajax({
            url: siteUrl + 'fetch/search',
            type: "POST",
            data: formData,
            cache: true,            
            beforeSend:function(){
                jQuery('#main').html('
');
            },
            success: function(data) {
                jQuery('#main').empty();
                jQuery('#main').append(data);
            },
            error:function(x,e){
                if(x.status==0){
                    alert('You are offline!!\n Please Check Your Network.');
                }else if(x.status==404){
                    alert('Requested URL not found.');
                }else if(x.status==500){
                    alert('Internel Server Error.');
                }else if(e=='parsererror'){
                    alert('Error.\nParsing JSON Request failed.');
                }else if(e=='timeout'){
                    alert('Request Time out.');
                }else {
                    alert('Unknow Error.\n'+x.responseText);
                }
            }
        });
        return false;
    });
