I applied the IE hacks and found they made absolutely no difference. I went
back through the form styles and commented them all out adding in one at a
time. What I found is the only styling that is truly making a difference in
browsers (at least between FF and IE) is the 'fieldset' background color. It
seems that in IE it fills in the color between the fields sets , yet in FF it
does not giving a nice clear distinction between fieldsets.
Just not sure how to fix this in IE.

Trust the validator on this one. <br /> is the only correct way to write
a 'break' in XHTML 1.0, regardless of where it is or what others may do.

No, but that's easy enough to adjust :-)
I will suggest the following CSS fixes/additions for IE6 (and other
browsers), for a start...
/* kill the ridiculous font-step bug in IE/win */
* html body {font-size: 100%;}
/* trim layout in IE/win */
* html #parta {margin-top: -36px;}
* html #partb {margin-top: 8px;}
/* fix fieldset background in IE/win */
* html fieldset {margin-top: 1em; position: relative;}
* html legend {margin-top: -.9em; position: relative;}
/* give room for text */
input {width: auto;}
...and the layout is still in need of a bit more testing and trimming
across browser-land.
regards
Georg
