Can fieldsets only to be used in forms or can they be used to group any sort of related information together (ie: business name, short description, logo and link).
The spec's wording is a little vague but by my reading of it, fieldset and legend are only intended for form controls. Beyond the spec, I would imagine that the average user's expectation is that fieldset+legend = form inputs, so purely from a usability point of view I'd keep fieldsets for forms. For general content, the heading structure should "group" information together; and don't forget that although we use them constantly, DIVs do actually add structure (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-DIV). When I really want to break up a page into chunks I also use HRs, although many people contest that usage I think it's valid. Lists also group related items together; although I do think it's an oversight of the spec that you can't explicitly associate a label or caption with lists. Still, a subheading + list is usually a pretty clear association. In some ways it depends if you're talking about page layout or actual content - ie. is your business name, logo etc being used in a header; or are you creating a page which lists a bunch of businesses? For the former I'd simply use a DIV, for the latter a list (maybe a definition list). Just my opinion, no doubt there will be plenty of others :) cheers, Ben -- --- <http://weblog.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
