So I am stuck once again on this this is my code for a .JSP page where I am trying to click on an artist name and it will show movies that they appear in. I have everything working in the first query but when I get to the queryMovies, where I try to a href the title of the movie back to a movie ID which should take me to another page, I get the error mid cannot be resolved to a variable. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Changing
to
should work.
Other than this
where are you starting “
<a>” tag which is ending near “<td>“.
