issues with fieldset tag
thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the fieldset tags
after removing the nesting of the fieldset tags, there was still an issue, and it seems to be the way ie renders the page in quirks mode, if a fieldset has no border
I found a fix by setting the fieldset a 1px transparent border as a conditional css tag
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
fieldset {
border: 1px solid transparent;
}
</style>
