Html submit a form, but stay on the same page

I want to create a form with HTML, that when submitting it will run a javascript function (the function itself needs to contact a local server (localhost:...)), but when inside the javascript function I use window.open(...) a new tab is opened. I want the form to be submitted but not to change the current page, meaning to stay on the form. How do I do that?

If you are using type="submit" but want to stay on the same page you could try changing the input type to button so that it would read... 

input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="myFunction()"

and in the function call the box variables with...

var name = document.formName.boxName.value;

Set the target for your form:

<form target="_blank" action="http://example.com">.....
