I always use a hidden Iframe for my form submissions. It saves a lot
of headaches and coding.
This way you could set the target of the from to the hidden Iframe and
submit it there as many times as you want without interefering with
the UI.
Tave the submit button be type="button", not type="submit" and have
the onclick call a function that sets the form target to nothing, then
submit the form normally.
