Thanks a lot. This works.

James, I accidentally deleted your message and empty my trash, so I am replying to your message in this post–thanks, this must be one of the best useful tips I have learned in year 2008. I knew (well, sort of as I never try to dig in to find out more) that browsers must come with a style sheet for their UIs purpose, and I presumedly thought they will in no way getting into my style sheet, and, or shall I say, they must not.

It's rather disturbing and annoying to learn that the many battles, time wasted on trying to make the legend behaves in Firefox, that the whole culprit is from its style sheet. Don't know about you guys, but for me, it has always been a uphill battle to try to make sites as accessible as possible–the people I know but never met who care about accessibility is from this group only; the people I know, have to work with or give me the jobs, care none about accessibility. There is no way one can justify the one whole hour being waste to make the legend displays correctly in FF and there is no way one can tell people who give the jobs that it's important to have the legend attribute when one couldn't get it works in one whole damn hour. These browser vendors, they are just not helping people like me and the 1% of web designers on earth who care the accessibility, all they added are countless frustration, time wasted and irritation and potentially turn people like me to become apathy to accessibility.
