You're pretty close, but you don't need *both* $.post() and .load().
Just pick one or the other. Using .load() is a little bit simpler, but
I believe it uses GET behind the scenes:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
        $('#yourbutton').click(function(){
                $('#submit_result').load('test.php', { input: $('input').val() });
        });

</script>

...so if it's important that it be submitted via POST, then something
like this should work:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
        $('#yourbutton').click(function(){
                $.post('test.php', { input: $('input').val() }, function(data){
                        $('#submit_result').html(data);
                });
        });

</script>
