I’m styling a form that was already marked up (made some markup changes), and I normally work in Firefox to style so I can use firebug and the web developer toolbar.
On this project, I noticed that my styles are displaying quite differently for one particular area (several elements) in webkit based browsers Chrome and Safari, than in Firefox (we won’t even get into Internet Explorer, although it is siding with the Firefox display).
I can’t figure out though why the styles are displaying so differently. Normally there is some rule that I’m neglecting that Firefox just takes for granted, and the others need it specified. But here I’m not getting why it’s displaying this way. In particular I’m referring to the bottom area of the form where users can enter their contact info, then submit the form. I’ll attach screen shots for reference as to the discrepancy.
Here’s the URL so feel free to check it out on your own. Although be advised that this is a production page (already released) so if you try out the form, you WILL BE added to CURE’s contact database.

Here’s the screen shots:

As a bonus, if anybody wants to help me with figuring out why on earth IE7 wants to not show the background behind the questions only, and how to fix that I would be much obliged!
Thanks very much.
Your
<ol>is not closed, which makes webkit place the submit button inside the<fieldset>in an attempt to fix up your code.
