<h1>Thanks for joining our email list</h1>
<p>Here is the information that you entered: </p>
<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="1">
<tr>
<td align="right">First name:</td>
<td><%= firstName %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Last name:</td>
<td><%= lastName %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Email Address:</td>
<td><%= emailAddress %></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>To enter another email address, click on the Back <br />
button in your browser or the Return button shown <br />
below.</p>
<form action="index.jsp" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Return" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
and it's giving me this error page...
