Re: Newbie Variable Question

[Chris Pratt]

It's no longer in scope.  try this instead:
    (*Chris*)

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