Combining ASP and Javascript

Hi,

I'm having trouble with using a Javascript value in ASP. In my asp page I have a form:

<form name="form">

<input type="text" name="country">

<input type="submit" name="submit" onclick="return cmdSubmit_onclick()">

</form>

On top of my asp page I have a Javascript function link this:

function cmdSubmit_onclick() {

ctry = document.form.country.value

if (ctry!="")

{

<% strSQL = "SELECT Country FROM SC WHERE Country = " &ctry%>

}

}

My question is how do I use the value of ctry in ASP?

Really appreciate if someone could help me.

Thanks

can submit the form to the same page:

<form name="form" method=post action="thispage.asp>

Capture ctry in code:

ctry = request.form("ctry")

then perform sql action.
