HTML and Squiffy - User Input to Variables

I think this is my first post, so be gentle. ;)
Now, I'm having a bit of trouble working out how I can convert the user's input from the HTML <input type="text" />
box into a Squiffy {variable}
(as a string).
I've tried all sorts of weird and wonderful things, but just can't seem to figure this out. The supposedly most obvious answer - GetElementById('id').value - didn't seem to work.
This is the (super basic) code I have:
[[START]]:
@clear
<h3>Character Creator</h3>
<h5>
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstName" /><br>
<br>
Surname: <input type="text" name="lastName" /><br>
<br>
Gender: {rotate playerGender:Male:Female}
<br>
<br>
[[Next]]
</h5>
You can ignore all the <br>
s they are just for styling.
This is what it looks like:
Character Creator
First Name:
Surname:
Gender: Male/Female
So do you have any idea how I can fix this?
