Each <em>legend<\/em> was being wrapped by a\u00a0<em>span\u00a0<\/em>tag.\u00a0According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/html5\/forms.html#the-legend-element\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HTML specifications<\/a>,\u00a0<em>legend\u00a0<\/em>tags should always be the first child of the parent\u00a0<em>fieldset<\/em>. Since our\u00a0<em>legend\u00a0<\/em>tags were wrapped by\u00a0<em>span\u00a0<\/em>tags, this made our markup technically incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the exact <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/easydigitaldownloads\/easy-digital-downloads\/pull\/4587\/files\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is a very minor change but one that could have an affect on the exact presentation of the checkout form depending on the theme that is activated on the website.<\/p>\n<p>Our team has tested a large number of the most popular Easy Digital Downloads themes, including all of our own, to ensure all necessary adjustments are made and released before version 2.6 is released.
