Without jQuery (raw JavaScript):

    var data = "...";// this is your data that you want to pass to the server (could be json)
    //next you would initiate a XMLHTTPRequest as following (could be more advanced):
    var url = "get_data.php";//your url to the server side file that will receive the data.
    var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
    http.open("POST", url, true);

    //Send the proper header information along with the request
    http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
    http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

    http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
        if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
            alert(http.responseText);//check if the data was received successfully.
        }
    }
    http.send(data);

Using jQuery:

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: url,//url of receiver file on server
  data: data, //your data
  success: success, //callback when ajax request finishes
  dataType: dataType //text/json...
});

I hope this helps :)
