The p element cannot contain block elements like fieldset, so the start tag for the fieldset element closes the p element by implication. Thus there isn't an option p element when the p end tag is reached. This is described in the error message you provided a screen shot of. (Incidentally, double line breaks are a poor substitute for margins and images with captions are not a set of fields). -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk/>
