Item996: When title is empty ( hint ) empty <p></p> breaks layout in IE

When you don't enter a hint for a element ( mostly checkboxes ) the default format prints <p></p> at the place where they should be displayed. This works for the FF because it kindly ignores them and does not display them as normal p`s.

Nevertheless IE is displaying a full pagebreak. That way the IE and FF layout looks completely different and broken.

Proposal

Dont print <p></p> if $t is empty

Sideeffects

The form-steps will be shown closely to eachother in the FF if the <p></p> are removed. It seems like empty p is shown like a line with a small line-height. To fix this, we need to set a proper padding-top on the formStep css class. Then IE and FF look the same
