           Summary: \$ is quoted even with el-ignored=true
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.7
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The spec mentions that \$ is only enabled when EL is enabled.

JSP.1.6 Quoting and Escape Conventions
Quoting in Template Text
Only when the EL is enabled for a page (see Section JSP.3.3.2, “Deactivating
EL Evaluation”), a literal $ can be quoted by \$. This is not required but is
useful for quoting EL expressions.

This is currently not the case, as i can see a TODO in the src code.

// TODO: only recognize \$ if isELIgnored is false, but since
// it can be set in a page directive, it cannot be determined
// here.  Argh!

Nevertheless it's a bug i have run into, because my jsps contain many regular 
expressions for javascript where the $ has to be escaped \$, so it's not 
interpreted as end of line in the regex.
