You can do this using an asynchronous request with Javascript to the server, if the Javascript is provided by the same server that you want to make the request to. This process is known as "AJAX".

And I believe kruptof is correct in saying that there's no way to do it without help by the server (in this case, the "help" qualifies as a separate page that provides the Javascript).

If you did it with Java, it's a completely different story.
