Short answer is: You can't.

1. The browser makes an HTTP request
2. The server executes the ASP and generates an HTTP response
3. The browser recieves the HTTP response and parses the HTML, executing any
JavaScript it finds.

To send data from the browser back to the server to process that data with
ASP requires another HTTP request. This is typically done by directing the
browser to a new URL. Another option is the XMLHttpRequest object.
