Way to javascript onclick send information, but user doesnt see popup

Is there a way to do a javascript call such as

window.open

except just send the information in the background? I need to send information to a company if they press onclick but dont want a popup to annoy the user every time they click a radio button. Notice this info doesnt need to be stored into a database, just sent to a url.

You can use AJAX for this requirement

 

You know of a way? Like maybe post the values to thispage.php and then that page would open a frame to http://www.company.com/record.php?name=$name&email=$email
??

But how would you make a ajax post even hidden? I need to take variables and pretty much have the server send the information.

You can have a hidden image and change its src to the page that you want requested.

<img id="hiddenimg" style="visibility: hidden;" />
<script type="text/javascript">
....
document.getElementById("hiddenimg").src = "http://www.website.com/?val1=123&val2=456";
....
</script>

Code (markup):

 

How would I onclick this?

Would I onclick to a post ajax function which then opened up a post.php which then had the hidden image? Or is there a way to onclick directly to that?

That is a great idea if it really will submit so the other website gets the information.
