As dwatson06 mentioned the only way without a page reload achieved with a hyper-link or form submit is the dreaded JavaScript (Nee LiveScript). The reason I say 'dreaded' is that many Monks will tell you its inherently unsafe (esp. for reading Cookies etc) its also notoriously unstable between different UAs (Browsers). Many folks turn it off as a default, so you will have to take that into consideration as well. If you haven't been put off yet here's a link (offsite) to a good resource for JavaScript: javascript.internet.com. However I would seriously consider the server side model as I have already stated - too many things can|will go wrong with the client side approach.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
