For that you would want to dynamically create a form and then submit
it.  For example:

var s = '<form action="myURL" method="POST">';

// add inputs corresponding to your javascript object
for (p in myObject) {
    s += '<input type="text" name="'
        + encodeURIComponent(p) + '" value="'
        + encodeURIComponent(myObject[p])
        + '" />';
}
s += '</form'>;

// add the form to the document
var $form = $(s).appendTo('body');

// submit it
$form.submit();
