This won't be possible with standard JavaScript on a normal web page. What are you trying to do?

If it's a shell script on the server, then use Ajax to call the server-side script. That's if you want to avoid a page unload. If not, you could just submit the page. If you're not familiar with Ajax, check out some of the links in the Off-site Links sticky.
