 Hi Peter,

 In your ie_styles.css, remove the width from the legend ruleset and IE should 
 play along.

 legend {
   position: relative;
   left: -7px;
   top: -0.75em;
   /* width: 100%; */ /* remove this */
 }

 Side benefit (tee hee) - the horizontal scroll bar goes away, too.

Many thanks Holly. This put me on the right path.

I inserted the width:100% to cope with a problem specific to IE7, 
namely that each word of the fieldset legend is being wrapped. This can 
be seen at http://www.kuroiweb.com/forms/ and using display:block 
(which would have been a better solution than width:100% anyway) also 
causes the top border to run for cover. Setting an fixed width gives it 
partial cover for the duration of the width (big clue huh?).

If there's a quick solution to this I'd be interested. It appears to be 
wrapped up with the use of relative positioning on the legend. Doesn't 
matter what I do, remove the top: -0.75em or give it a positive value, 
so long as the legend is relative and has a width, that top-border 
doesn't play nicely.

Not a huge deal if there's no easy answer, as I've managed to work 
around it by dropping the relative positioning 
(http://www.kuroiweb.com/forms2/), so this is mainly just 'cos I don't 
like getting beat on these issues.

Re: [css-d] Top Border on Fieldset gone AWOL in IE

2008-05-18 Thread Harry S. Anchan
Hi,

Is there a beginner's site that teaches me, in simple terms, how to create 
CSS files? The sites I tried so far are rather hard to follow. Also, if I 
already have a site with lots of pages, is it possible/worthwhile to go the 
CSS way midstream, or is too late?

Thanks in advance.

[css-d] Top Border on Fieldset gone AWOL in IE

2008-05-17 Thread Peter
Here's a little nugget that has me stumped. I'm hoping that somebody out 
there can spot what I'm missing (and that it doesn't prove too embarassing!)

Here's a link to a cutdown example of the problem
http://www.kuroiweb.com/forms/

This performs exactly as expected in FF, but in IE6 and IE7 the top 
border (the only one set) on all fieldsets except the last one is not 
visible (I've colored them red to make them obvious). I've tried making 
them very big (e.g. width 100px) in case they are slightly obscured, but 
they still refuse to show themselves.

Any ideas about how they can be tempted out into the open would be much 
appreciated.

Peter

Good idea, helpful reference, but sadly doesn't solve the problem. Have 
added it to the main styles.css to demonstrate.

I guess I just don't understand. Either way, I get red rules in XP IE/6 
and IE/7 and you do not.

I think I will crawl under a rock. No red rules here, either.
