Hi Everyone This brings up a good topic. Apparently, my problem arises from creating a div with an id="search" to place a search box in part of the page. This is currently commented out.
Then, I used search as the id of an input field to relate to a label. So, the input is grabbing the styles for the div that has the same id. Moral to the story, be careful how you name your divs and such. When I changed the id of the input to query, all of the problems dissapeared. Thank you for your help everyone. Special thanks to Nick for sending me a screenshot in Safari. I need to add a clearing div to my contact form to make the fieldset wrap around the whole sucker.

However, your form is contained in #stack, and #search is simply an input. The extra height is caused by padding. The fix is: 1. replace #search with #stack in your css, or 2. change #stack to #search in your html and removing the id from the input field. Terrence Wood.
