Ah, I see.
I would recommend not using <label> and <fieldset> for rows 2 and 3.
As in:
Placeholder outputs of 2nd row:
{label}: What is favourite pet?
{input-html}:
<p><label><input type="radio" name="Pet" value="Cat">Cat</label></p>
<p><label><input type="radio" name="Pet" value="Dog">Dog</label></p>
<p><label><input type="radio" name="Pet" value="Ant">Ant</label></p>
Placeholder outputs of 3rd row:
{label}: When are you born?
{input-html}:
<label>Month:
<select name="Month">
<option value="01">January</option>
...
</select>
</label>
<label>Year: <input type="text" name="Year" size="4"></label>
Why isn't that satisfactory?
