> > Firstly, am I using fieldset and legend in the correct semantic manner?
Fieldset and legend elements are useful for explicitly identifying groups of form controls and assigning a label [legend] that relates to a group of controls. The example of their use you provided looks fine. Fieldsets can also be nested to identify sub-groups there are a few examples (with code) of their use here: http://www.nils.org.au/ais/web/resources/WSG_Oct_04/slide16.html with regards Steven Faulkner Web Accessibility Consultant National Information & Library Service (NILS) 454 Glenferrie Road Kooyong Victoria 3144 Phone: (613) 9864 9281 Fax: (613) 9864 9210 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Information Library Service A subsidiary of RBS.RVIB.VAF Ltd.

I'd like to use <fieldset> and <legend> to mark up each question, thereby separating them easily for people with assistive devices. However, I'd also like to keep the original look and feel pre-fieldset for 'unassisted' users. An example of the differences can be found at : http://members.iinet.net.au/~damianfs/sample.html Safari and Opera 7.5 on the Mac seem to handle this conversion well, but Firefox and IE tend to put the list marker under level of the legend. So, a couple of questions: Firstly, am I using fieldset and legend in the correct semantic manner? Secondly, if I am using it correctly, are there suggestions for fixing the display in Firefox and IE?
