If I understand the question correctly (read twice)

You can simply use jquery to send the ajax request and your form is ready for next input.

The form contains the fields

<form id="myform">
...
<button id="sub">Submit</button>
</form>

The below div will contain the ajax-request response, which is mostly a table in your case.

<div id="resultContainer"></div>

Here's the script to submit the form through ajax to some url

<script>
$("#sub").click(function(){
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "myjsp.jsp",
            data: $("#myform").serialize(),
            complete: function(xhr, textStatus) {
                $("#resultContainer").html(xhr.responseText);
            }
        });
    });
</script>

Solution 2:

You want to do something along these lines:

<scripttype="text/javascript">
    $('form:eq(0)').submit(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "table.htm",
            data: $(this).serialize(),
            dataType: 'text/html',
            success: function(response) {
                $(this).after(response);
            }
        });
        returnfalse;
    });
</script>

and you need to give the form an id attribute.
