Agreed, you are absolutely correct. Doh! I didn't acutally check the
source code, no wonder my earlier post was confusing. Sorry Derek.
If anyone *is* interested in replicating Dereks layout without the extra
div's try this:
<html>
<style>
label {
display:block;
width: 10em;
position:relative;
padding: 0.2em;
}
input {
position: absolute;
left: 11em;
width: 15em;
}
label em {
position: absolute;
left:23em;
width: 100%;
color: red;
}
</style>
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>User Details</legend>
<label for="uname">Username
<em>must not contain spaces</em>
<input id="uname" type="text" name="uname" value="" />
</label>
<label for="email">Email Address
<input id="email" type="text" name="email" value="" />
</label>
<label for="fname">First Name
<em>must not be blank</em>
<input id="fname" type="text" name="fname" value="" />
</label>
<label for="lname">Last Name
<input id="lname" type="text" name="lname" value="" />
</label>
</fieldset>
</form>
</html>
