Two questions (one semantics, one CSS)
This is the prototype survey I am putting together:
http://www.housing.uwaterloo.ca/surveys/phpsurveyor/index.php?sid=1&newtest=Y
I've managed to strip most of the invalid code out of the php files but I've got two problems left:
- I can't seem to get rid of the border around that fieldset - why?? I've tried various combinations of CSS selectors but I can't figure it out
- See that table for the first question? It's not a table, but how else should I mark it up? Should the comments go beside the entry or below? Below might be easier...
Thanks for any suggestions

)

FYI, that page doesn't have a background colour

It's a difficult one. If you're on a tight schedule it's probably not worth thinking about as it's so close.
You could use a list. I've never tried, but is it possible to put a div inside a list item? You could use that for layout.
Lists can be nested, both lists and divs are block-level elements so you hopefully wont have an issue.

I haven't gotten around to deciding what to do with that yet
Question: in php, what are \t and \n for? So if there's a line like [incode]echo "\t\t\t\t\n";[/incode], what are the \t and \n doing? Why so many \t???

\t = tab
\n = new line
your source code would show the tabbed and new lines

To take it one step further...
/r is a carriage return
It is also a good idea to use both /r/n together because of the way that Macs, *nix, and Windows all recognize and render their new lines

thats only for emails, for the web it doesn't matter unless your fussy about the source code.
The \n (for example) puts the content in the source code on a new line, not the content on the page, to do that you still need to use or similar

Sorry, your right, I should have clarified that.
Thanks

I don't see why the question isn't a table? It's tabular data, no?

That link is different now, sorry. The ones you see now are tables (although I wouldn't exactly describe that as 'tabular data'). The one I was talking about is now the second-last question from the bottom, the "Multiple options with comments". That was originally a table with the comments in a separate column.
