I see you already fixed it. For the *why*: in Firefox and Opera, a fieldset establishes a new block formatting context [1], which, by definition, contains the floated objects/elements. Safari (and iirc Konqueror), iCab and iExploder don't do that. That is a bug in those browsers, imho. For more on form controls and block formatting contexts, there is an interesting bug in Gecko's Bugzilla: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342531> read through the comments for explanations and definitions.
