Because both the label and input are floated, the div has no content so
its height becomes 0.
I think you found a ff1.5 bug. Opera and safari display as you would
expect. Apparently my firefox settings and extensions from 1.5 are
making 1.07 unhappy. I'll have to rectify that later. The upshot is
that I can't tell for sure if ff1.07 has this bug or not (1.6a1 does).
If you were to change the css for fieldset>div:after so you could see
it,
fieldset>div:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: visible;
border-top: 1px solid red;
}
You will notice that in ff1.5, The 'clearer' generated content for the
first div is actually displayed above the text of the first div
(because the floated elements overflow). However, the 'clearer'
generated content for the second div is below it as you would expect.
There are several fixes. Probably the simplest in your case is
fieldset>div:before {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
The second simplest is to give fieldset>div a min-height of 1.2em.
