Try this, you need to prevent onclick action to go to the that page.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("a").click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "random.php",
            data: {"name" : $(this).attr('id')}
        }).done(function( msg ) {
           alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
       });
    return false; // prevent from browsing that page
    });
});
