Hi Sacha
I quite like the legend and label visible... makes the form more easy to understand.
Also, if you use an optgroup in your drop down it will do away with your
option value= - - - - -/option tags
Cheers

Hi everybody,I'm working on an accessible form the has all fieldset, legend, labelelements properly included.But I'd also like the form to be styled in a minimalist fashion with theoption of toggling the labels on and off.
I can hide the label elements using the'off stage' technique(position:absolute; left: -100em; width: 100em;), but the legend elementcannot be repositioned or easily manipulated, and I don't want to use
display:none; or visibility:hidden;.So I came up with this:legend{margin:-1em; font-size:0px;}In Mozilla the 0px makes the text invisible, but only miniscule in IE soI used margin:-1em; is to push it under the drop down menu in the form.
My question is: does anybody know if this will have adverse affects onaccessibility or if there are any other weird problems with using thistechnique?You can see the form here:
