The trap of a multi-browser web :) Despite most references claiming it works in IE6, I have not been able to get it to work in as simply as you've defined in your post. See http://www.mattheerema.com/archive... for some solutions - martin english

Martin: you can accomplish the same thing (albeit not semantically, but that's a lost pipe dream anyway) using divs. put a div around what you'd normally put a fieldset on, and give it a border via CSS. If you want a legend, create a div or another block element (maybe an h1/h2/h3/h4/etc.) with the legend at the top of the container, and give that div a negative margin-top via CSS. Fieldsets were only meant for grouping radio and checkbox items in a form; otherwise, you should be using CSS to present. - Mark Trapp

The bonus of the method I described is that it works in all browsers. - Mark Trapp
