Keeping Navigation Current by passing printing variables from url

[brwalias]

I would like to pass a variable from a url and print that variable on the page. here is my code so far which isn't working:

 
<% dim page %>
<div id="globalNav">
  <ul id="globalNavList">
    <li <% page = Request.QueryString("home")
    if page=home then Response.Write("class=home") end if %>><a href="/default.asp?page=home">home</a></li>
    <li <% page = Request.QueryString("products")
    if page=products then Response.Write("class=products") end if %>><a href="/products/default.asp?page=products">products</a></li>
    <li><a href="/services/">services</a></li>
    <li><a href="/clients/">clients</a></li>
    <li><a href="/partners/">partners</a></li>
    <li><a href="/about/">about us</a></li>
  </ul>
</div><!--/globalNav-->
<div id="banner"></div><!--/banner-->

Hi, I think this would shed some light on what I'm trying to accomplish. This is the php version: http://alistapart.com/articles/keepingcurrent/

I bascially want to pass a variable using a url and have a page catch that variable and print out an html class to assign my global navigation list. I'll then have css style how the list element should render.
