IE has a specific mechanism that allows to do so. You could also use tricks
such as an hidden IFRAME that allows to call server side code wihtout
refreshing the current page but it's probably better to use a standard
mechanism if possible (postbacks to simulate server side events).

What do you want to do ?

For server processing, either a postback (submit) or xmlhttp is required.

See

but I always found this to be a bit overkill for my needs (I'm using rather
the hidden IFRAME trick).

That said I still suggest to explain what you want to achieve. It allows
sometimes someone to suggest a whole new direction for what you wanted to do
a particular way.
