CSS Styling Forms - IE Error 6/7

I am developing a website using forms and unfortunately for IE 6 and 7. I have a problem with CSS and IE rendering styled form elements.

I wrote a test case and it is as such (also available online at http://xistence.osnn.net/testcases/ie67fieldset/ ):

I also took two screenshots, one from IE 7 and one from IE 8, IE 7 and IE 6 agree with this style, so I didn't bother to take a screenshot of IE 6.

IE [6 | 7]:

IE 8:

Has anyone seen this error before? Where am I wrong? What do I need to remove to get it to work in IE 6/7 without any extra lines going through my input fields. Extra lines are removed when the top border spins in the marginset, but this is not a solution as it removes all visual separation.

This has been fixed. margin-bottom on textarea and input [type = "text"] was causing IE 6/7 error. Removed those and all is well. I guess I can handle the extra space between elements on the page!
