Handling a response from node.js without rendering it?

Question

I am returning a simple response in node.js with res.send() in response to a POST request. My problem is that I want the client to stay on the same page. Currently the client just gets taken to a blank page that has the contents of res.send() written on it. But I want the client to update it's current page (the page from which the POST request was sent) instead of displaying the response. Is there a way to do this?

You need to change the action of your HTML form using jquery, angular, or backbone (etc..) The page change is the default functionality of a html form submission, and this cannot be resolved by node.js.
