如何从不同的页面发送字符串作为POST数据？

Question

I have a search page with an input box in my index.php. The form is using POST method.

<form id="someID" action="result.php" method="post">
    <input name="name" id="name" type="text">
    <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

Now I want to send a string to that input box from result.php page using a link like this-

<a href="javascript:void(0)">Some Name</a>

I can get the content of this link using JS and can send the name to result page if I use GET method.
Example: http://example.com/result.php?name=value

But I cannot use GET here.
Can I send the content of this link as a string to the result page using POST method? Any ideas?

If you're using jQuery (to make AJAX simpler than vanilla JS) it would look like this:

$.post('http://example.com/result.php', { name: value }, function(data) {
    // data -> returned HTTP request
});
