Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. When you say "fieldset labelled", you mean the legend, right? I've actually not been using a legend tag in this instance because the design doesn't warrant it. Case by case basis I guess.
But yes, both you and Jens are right that it depends on the content. Cheers again, Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 11:30 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] Correct markup of fieldset To my mind, one of the most pressing questions that needs to be answered in any particular case is: "How is the fieldset labelled?" If it specifically says something like 'postcode' or maybe 'contact details', and is one of a collection of fieldsets, then the button should probably be outside. If the form is simpler, the fieldset is un-labelled, generically labelled, or the only fieldset, then there is no advantage to moving the submit button outside of the fieldset. Of course, what would be best would be a quick study of what actual screen-readers speak in these cases - does the closing of a fieldset lead the user to believe that is the end of the form? I see little issue with the semantics of the form, since the button will still be contained within that boundary, even if it goes outside a fieldset. (Validity of XHTML being a slightly separate argument, especially if, like me, you never use it.)
