[WSG] Any way to defeat legend styling problems in IE?
Hello All - I've already spent a lot of time researching this and - from the threads I've read - there doesn't seem to be a solution for IE in particular. If you go here: http://www.crewasia.ph/index.php?cmd=s7,p2 in IE 6, you'll see that the question mark icon is held off of the left margin of the fieldset (and also displaying a small sliver of the fieldset's top border) which ISN'T as per design. If you look at the same page Firefox, this is the goal. As mentioned, my previous research has left me disheartened about a fix for IE... but then again, the posts I've been reading are well over a year old. Is there something I can do to the legend to make that question mark icon line up with the left border of the fieldset? Great appreciation, as always, in advance.

I'm sure John won't mind me posting a link to his article on the subject... http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/css/legends-of-style/ Hope that helps. 2008/2/28 Cole Kuryakin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello All - I've already spent a lot of time researching this and - from the threads I've read - there doesn't seem to be a solution for IE in particular.

Re: [WSG] Any way to defeat legend styling problems in IE?
Your mileage may vary, but I've started to (grudgingly) use a little
bit of conditional-comment-wrapped styling for IE
!--[if IE]
style type=text/css#content legend { margin-left: -0.5em; }/style
![endif]--
this usually works ok for me, but the actual value may require some
further tweaking. Give that a whirl and see if it helps (sorry, no
time to test on your specific code).
