Hi Terrance A fieldset should contain a set of similar inputs, such as the users personal information, a fieldset for creditcard information, shipping address, etc. It would defeat the coordinating purpose to use a fieldset randomly to create rows or columns.
That said, you could set a width to a fieldset and float the fieldsets to create a columnar form.

You have not misinterpeted what I was saying, sorry my email is a little terse today.I would've have emailed you off-list but couldn't find your email anywhere (within my 3 second attention span =) I guess my point is that if you need to create 'rows' of form controls, then isn't this what the fieldset element is for? I'm figuring these examples will be influential for newbies and so it would be nice if the examples used fieldset as it is intended instead of divs, and you would only need an addtional rule to style the border. pedantic or semantic you decide =) kind regards Terrence Wood. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
