Preventing javascript to redirect the page after sending the form

Question

Hell I have a form on my page that I submit it using JavaScript:

document.getElementById("contactForm").submit();

But this command redirects the page to the form action's page. and I don't want this to happen and stay on the page.

Please help me to solve this problem

(also I've googled it up but there were no useful information)

Where is the page submitting? Do you want it to submit to the serverside? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? — John Hartsock, Dec 18 '13 at 17:03

Submitting sends you to the URL specified in the ACTION of the form via POST. This is not a redirect.

If you want to stay on the same page, use AJAX techniques, or post the form for a hidden Iframe.

Once again, submitting a form does not redirect in the first place. – Diodeus - James MacFarlane Dec 18 '13 at 18:23
