Newbie Variable Question

[Alex Nguyen]

Can anyone tell me why this

<%
String strHeader = request.getHeader("referer");
String strCompare = "http://test.com;
out.println(strHeader);
if (strHeader.equals(strCompare))
{
  String strOutput = "http://www.amazon.com/;
}
else {
 String strOutput = "http://www.bn.com/;
}
%>

<br>
<center>
<font color=#ffffff face="arial,verdana" size=1>
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="<%=strOutput%>home.php">Home</a>


gets this error:

500 Servlet Exception
/Alex/footer.jsp:18: Undefined variable: strOutput
      out.print((strOutput));
                 ^
