Answer 1

This is an example on how to post with jQuery:

var data = 
    '<helpdesk_ticket>' +
    '<description>This is a test</description>' +
    '<email>sample@example.com</email>' + 
    '</helpdesk_ticket>'
$.support.cors = true;
$.ajax({
    url: 'http://onehouse.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets.xml',
    type: 'POST',
    crossDomain: true,
    data: data,
    dataType: 'text',
    username: 'username1',
    password: 'password1',
    success: function (result) {
        alert(result);
    },
    error: function (jqXHR, tranStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert(
            'Status: ' + jqXHR.status + ' ' + jqXHR.statusText + '. ' +
            'Response: ' + jqXHR.responseText
        );
    }
});

As you tagged jQuery, here's a jQuery solution which should work (I did not test it):

$.post("http://onehouse.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets.xml", {
   // any parameters here 
}, function(data) {
      document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=data;
})

You still have to specify the parameters, but as you did not provide your form html, I left it empty. Also have a look at the api: jQuery.post
