Response to: and escaping
Let me edit that message above because it did not display properly; here's the browser output of the two statements when select "View Source" in the browser: a tag </tag></ br> a tag </tag>

Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.

  Oh well, that didn't display properly either...The c:out element outputs the character entities and the "EL in template" form outputs the actual tag in this case, which ends up embedded in the underlying HTML.

  but when i write the sentence in a jsp file.
  if displays :${myValue} ${myValue} when i use the sentence
  
  <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
  
  but when i use
  <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
  it displays a tag </tag> ${myValue} on the screen.
  could you tell me the reason.
  i am using tomcat 5.0.16;
