Yes, this is very possible using jQuery and AJAX.

So, lets say that, just to be brief, this is your input:

<input type='text' id='name' />
<input type='submit' id='submitdata' value='submit />

Using jquery, you would do this:

$(function(){

    $('#submitdata').click(function(){
        //this gets the value from your name input
        var name = $('#name').val();
        var list = "PutYourListNameHere";

        addListItem(name, list);
    });

});

function addListItem(name, listname) {

var listType = "PutTheTypeOfListHere";

// Prepping our update & building the data object.
// Template: "nameOfField" : "dataToPutInField"
var item = {
    "__metadata": { "type": listType},
    "name": name
}

// Executing our add
$.ajax({
    url: url + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listname + "')/items",
    type: "POST",
    contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
    data: JSON.stringify(item),
    headers: {
        "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
        "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
    },
    success: function (data) {
        console.log("Success!");
        console.log(data); // Returns the newly created list item information
    },
    error: function (data) {
        console.log("Error!");
        console.log(data);
    }
});

}

This SHOULD work. I am not at work where my SharePoint station is, so if you are still having issues with this, let me know.
