am having trouble with including a jsp page with tag. This is what is happening.

I making changes to a portlet application running on Websphere 7 server. This is the hierarchy of the jsp pages.

blankPage.jsp -->bookingViewTabs.jsp --> availableRooms.jsp

meaning blankPage is included in bookingViewTabs which is inturn included in availableRooms.jsp

I have 2 problems with this.

(1). The blankPage.jsp does not render correctly on the screen. It gets cutoff

(2). The other is in blankPage.jsp there is a form called "guestProfileSearchResultsFormId". this form has several hidden fields for data. example, "guestId" which is a child of that form and can be accessed formname.fieldname, but when i include that page into another jsp as the first include(there are several includes on the page) under the another form tag, the form field is not being rendered as a child of the form, but as a sibling of the form. If i change the order and include some other page and include this, it is working as it is supposed to have. meaning with children intact. I don't understand this behavior.

I HAVE ATTACHED A GIF IMAGE OF WHAT I SEE ON THE BROWSER

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
