Legends are notoriously difficult (impossible?) to style consistently across browsers, and yes...in addition to that, FF seems to put additional roadblocks in the way - see for instance the recent thread about my little "frugal google" experiment http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg%40webstandardsgroup.org/msg16240.html Now, as far as giving the legend a background as wide as the fieldset: as you found out, FF ignores any width even if you try to force display:block You may have some success using padding on the legend - but that will obviously make for inconsistent results. You may have to experiment with more esoteric solutions such as giving a non-repeating, top positioned background to the fieldset itself (but again, I'd be surprised if it can be made to work reasonably well across browsers) Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.
