Just desperate to get a solution for this issue. Here is a workaround I came up
with. Like to share with you all.
It works cross site for browser Safari, Chrome, IE, & firefox. Should work with
other browser too.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function imageget() {
    im = new Image()
    im.src="http://example.com/foo.gif";
    setTimeout('document.myform.submit()', 100);
};
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="myform">
<input class="submit" id="but1" type="submit" value="Click Me"
onclick="imageget();return false;" />
</form>
</body>

here i am tricking safari by breaking the current call stack by returning false
and making a  asynchronous call for the submit using setTimeout. 
Thanks
Ajay
