Vector in URL

Question

I am trying to loop through a vector with a few names and use the names as urls in my .jsp using this code:
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%Vector myVector= new Vector();%>
<%String [] firstNames ={"jack","jill","fred","ted"};%>
<%for (int xx=1;xx<firstNames.length; xx++){myVector.add(firstNames[xx]);}%>
<%for (int x=1; x<myVector.size(); x++){%><A HREF=http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/learningJSP/Attendance.jsp?student=(String)myVector.get(x)><%=(String)myVector.get(x)%> </A><%}%>
Please note my code does not include the ; before </A><%}%> -- the forum is putting that there. Please ignore it as I can not get rid of it in my post. Odd, but true.
I think the problem is in the syntax in my second for loop as I get the following error:
Undefined variable: x
out.print((String)myVector.get(x));
^
It appears that my intstantiating the x in the for loop is lost when I use the <%%>'s.
I would greatly appreciate a simple syntax example to get the for loop working together with the url.
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the advice. I cleaned up the <%%>'s and this worked:
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%Vector myVector= new Vector();
String [] firstNames ={"jack","jill","fred","ted"};
for (int xx=1;xx<firstNames.length; xx++){myVector.add(firstNames[xx]);}
for (int x=1; x<myVector.size(); x++){
%>
<%=(String)myVector.get(x)%>
<%}%>
Note: again the ';' before </A> is not in my actual code.
