That feels like something that's probably not in the CSS spec (and thus left to agent developer's to decide)... if so then both implementations can be right. But if you want to force it you might try setting a background graphic on the fieldset that's pinned to the top, tiles horizontally, matches the page's background color and is only as tall as the space you want to mask.

RE: CSS / Fieldset / IE
This is about as close as I could get without the final tweaking to get the dimensions the same on both browsers. The margins need to be modified for IE to not overlap the form field with the legend. I found a few posts that say, basically, that this can't be done.

Seems like it is a known issue with no nice x-browser solution. IE is coloring the bounding box of the whole fieldset including the legend; FF is coloring the bounding box of the fieldset without the legend. It doesn't have to do with the contents of the fieldset text, it has to do with where the background bounding box is when a fieldset has a legend. You could make a case for either way being correct. snipped from a website. ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:213204 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: CSS / Fieldset / IE
My latest attempt gets it much closer in both browsers. I added an empty div tag to space the legend from the form fields.

RE: CSS / Fieldset / IE
Yes it's annoying, I couldn't find any way round it either, so I just ended up using borders instead of fieldsets.

RE: CSS / Fieldset / IE
I posted two solutions to this, but I didn't see them come through. Can anyone confirm that they went through? The final solution I had was with a div that controlled the spacing between the legend and the following content. If it didn't go through, I can probably duplicate it again, but I didn't keep a copy of the message I sent.
