Yes, there is, and it is called AJAX. Search through the AJAX forums for posting values using JS with the POST method.

Another way is to create a hidden input element, use then JS to change the hidden element value and submit the form.
e.g. something like should work, however I have not tested it. If you're familiar with JS you will figure it out.

fucntion sendByPost(hiddenField)
{
var = myvalue;
var myHiddenfield = document.getElementById(hiddenfield);
myHiddenfield.value = myvalue;
document.form.submit();
}

Good luck
