IE6 doesn't appear to render the background correctly in a fieldset with a legend (extends beyond top border).

Oooh, yah. Fieldsets are tricky to style. I opt to keep things simple when it comes to fieldset/legends.

Is there a fix or alternatively how would you hide the background-color from IE6 only.

Use Conditional Comments.[1]

Fore example (in head, after main stylesheet call):

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/ie-5-6x.css" />
<![endif]-->

"IF IE on PC, and less than IE 7, Use this stylesheet (OR inline styles)"

I personally dropped support for anything less than IE 6 (just feed un-styled content), so the above works well for me.

In your case, you would probably want to put some styling in the conditional stylesheet that overrides your real style... maybe:

fieldset { background-color: transparent; }

...or give same background color as your container.

Hope that helps. I am no guru, so I could have missed something.
