Subject: is there a way to force legend text shows in TWO lines?
1) Can anyone absolutely positively confirm that without legend a site
will cause suffering to screen reader's user or cause a traumatic
effect to accessibility?

Thanks a lot. This works.
James, I accidentally deleted your message and empty my trash, so I am

Maybe not the best solution, but I tend to set the legend to
display:none (IIRC, one can't position off-screen in some browsers), and
then insert a tad bit of additional HTML which is styled to emulate a
legend... I call this class .pseudoLegend:
(CSS:)
/* Emulate fieldset/legend: */

Hi all,
Just to elaborate on this one, has anyone ever found a way to remove the left
indent on the legend element in IE? I don't care if I have to add a SPAN inside
the LEGEND element, I just want to make sure the text will be left aligned
correctly in all browsers.
Please send a link if you
Hey Paul,
1. almost all browsers left-indent the legend element to some degree. They
use different amounts, with IE being slightly different to most other
browsers.
2. This may have been mentioned in the thread before but FireFox will not
allow the legend element to be positioned at all.

Hi
If there is CSS related issue that doesn't seem to want play nice, no matter
what you do, it's probably a rule being set by the browser in its user agent
stylesheet.
In firefox's case, it's in firefox install dir/res/forms.css (for forms).
Have
a peek at that stylesheet and you'll see all
