You can use a javascript function (using jquery) to handle those events. This method does not use a button, so you will need to create your own button that will call the following function:

function postPage() {
    $.post("post.php", $("#form_id").serialize(), function(){
        $("#display_id").load('display.php');
    });
}

You will need to have the post values processed in this case by "test.php", and then the contents of which you want to display back to the user after posting in display.php. The contents of display.php will be placed inside a div/container with the id of "display".
