Thanks for the reply. I guess I have a follow-up questions:
Is it "good" practice to set my fieldset class to ui-widget so that
all widgets within it get the styles?
I'm trying to figure out the when to use the ui-widget class but I
don't want to use and later find myself regretting that decision for
some reason.
Thanks.
