This is pretty trivial with Gears as well.  Look at the database example on
the Gears API (I think it's a reminder list).  Basically instead of
submitting the form to a server, you set the onclick to execute a javascript
function, which looks at the form variables and acts accordingly.  So the
data never really gets POSTed, but rather read by the javascript and acted
upon, as by definition, POSTs are always sent to a server (either as AJAX or
a traditional submit).

You'll need to download the example to get the HTML, but it's just a trivial
form.  More details at:
