problems with forms in ie8 and opera

    I'm having issues with a couple of forms in ie8 and opera. The forms work fine in all other browsers and versions back to ie6.

    I've never come across this before and I'm not sure what the problem is. Here's a wee test page showing the problem - Other things look funny but it's only the form I'm worried about. In ie8 it has a weird double bottom thing going on and in Opera the fieldset dips well below the bottom of the container div.

    Any clues? Thanks :)

    thanks for the suggestion RNK, I made that change but I found the problem was elsewhere. Incase it helps anyone else, although I guess that's unlikely, the problem was that I was closing my form before I closed my fieldset.

    Stupid, I know...

    Cool, I didn't even notice the </form> tag.
