You have answered your own question. It doesn't get any simpler than a
submit from Javascript. Now the question you need to think about is when do
you want the post to occur? Are you going to have then press a link? After
the page loads? After the last piece of data is entered? When you know where
it should occur then just call a Javascript function that issues the
submit() of the form.

function postForm()
{
document.forms[0].submit();
}

How do you post a form without actually waiting for submit button to be
pressed? Got a CGI expecting a form post, all the fields are already
available as hidden type in a form, and just need to be send it.
I know you can use Java as such:
<form method="post" action="CGI.php">
<input type="hidden" name="FName" value="myFirstName">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>
