Can I process a POST form submission with client side JavaScript?

No, you can't. You can do a POST submission with client side JavaScript 
e.g.
  <FORM NAME="formName" METHOD="post" ACTION="whatever.cgi">
then
  document.formName.submit()
will do the POST submission but client side JavaScript can not process 
such a FORM submission as it has no acess to the POSTed data.
