I can't find this one in the wiki... With default browser positioning of <legend> (straddling the border) IE6 seems to paint the background of <fieldset> above its border, up to the top of the legend.
body {background-color:#fff;} fieldset.basketholder {border: 1px solid #aaa; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding:0; background-color: #eee; color:#000;} .basketholder legend {border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 3px 5px; background-color: #fff; font-weight: bold; margin-left:0;margin-right:0; } applying the background colour to a child of <fieldset also fails as that starts 0.5em below the top border of <fieldset>. Are there any workarounds for this (other than forgoing either the border or the background colour? -- Richard Grevers, New Plymouth, New Zealand Hat 1: Development Engineer, Webfarm Ltd.
