title: nested <span> causes a new line
body: <p>I have jsp page that contains<code>&lt;span class="requiredFieldsMessageAsterix"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I use a jsp include to include this on another jsp page as here</p>
  
  <p><code>
  Date of Birth:&lt;%@include file="/jsps/includes/requiredFieldsLabel.jsp"%&gt;
  </code>
  This works fine. No new line.</p>
  
  <p>However when I nest this include within another span as here :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Date of Birth:&lt;span id="includeMandatoryDOB"&gt;&lt;%@include file="/jsps/includes/requiredFieldsLabel.jsp"%&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It creates a new line. I have tried forcing display:inline, but it did nothing(as I expected). There is no other styling the elements. </p>
  
  <p>This is on IE6, any ideas ?  It works fine on chrome, not tried firefox. But it is required for IE6.</p>
