If you really won't to "reload" the page, then just use a normal form post.
There's no reason to even use AJAX in this case.
Just do a normal form post and then use the following to remove the blockUI:
// add an event to run when the page unloads
$(window).unload(
function (){
// remove the UI block, so that pressing the BACK button
// will allow you to use the page again
$.unblockUI();
}
);
For what you're attempting to do, AJAX is overkill.
For example of posting to a form that block's the UI and then unblocks the
UI when the next page is loaded, check out this example:

This simulates a search that takes 5 seconds to respond (I think that's the
amount of time I wait before I return the page results.)
