Trigger Salesforce Marketing Cloud API Event on form submit

I am using Salesforce Marketing Cloud to send emails. I want to use the API Event in journey builder, I have tested the API using postman and the following code below and the journey is working fine, and the email is sending.

The issue I am facing is the following code triggers the API on page load and for a static subscriber. What I want to happen is to create a form so that when a user submits the SSJS will create a token and fire the API event.

I think this can be done with SSJS, but you cant mix SSJS and JS in the same script tag apparently.


%%[

SET @SubscriberKey = "0x00000001"
SET @EmailAddress = "[email protected]"
SET @PostalCode = "2000"

]%%
