When you highlight it it's just a thin band. Check your line-height on 
that element, you could also try setting a height in ems on it.


This line in blueprint's ie.css is also worth investigating:

* html legend {margin:-18px -8px 16px 0;padding:0;}

I've never had to apply negative top margin to a legend.

HTH,
Rob

Hi Christian,

Put a ' margin : 0;'  style to your legend tag and you're home free..

Mark

You guys were right, it was the negative margins. Now I'm just
wondering why the Blueprint core files had those to begin with. Unless
anyone here knows what good would come of applying negative margins to
legends, I'm going to remove them for good.
