<script type="text/template" id="contact-form"> 
    <h1>Edit <%- firstName %> <%- lastName %></h1> 
    <form>

            <label for="contact-firstName" class="control-label">
                First name:</label>
            <input id="contact-firstName" name="firstName"
                type="text" value="<%- firstName %>"/>

        <div class="control-group">
            <label for="contact-lastName" class="control-label">

            <input id="contact-lastName" name="lastName"
                type="text" value="<%- lastName %>"/>

        <div class="control-group">
            <label for="contact-phoneNumber" class="control-label">
                Phone number:</label>
            <input id="contact-phoneNumber" name="phoneNumber"
                type="text" value="<%- phoneNumber %>"/> 
        </div>
        <button class="btn js-submit">Save</button> 
    </form>
</script>
