Hi,
I am working on a form layout that utilize fieldset and legend and I
need to take care of presentation as well as screen reader needs.
The legend tag has a rounded corners background image, Safari and Opera
have no issue with positioning and width but I am finding Firefox (all
Gecko browsers actually) doesn't recognizing width element (haven't
check on IE yet but I figure it's buggy too). Did a google search on
Firefox bugs and found this:

Here is the screen shot of the result from above mentioned browsers.

The background image has to stay, I guess my last option will be
removing the legend, and use p tag instead, but this is really not
desirable because the page has two forms, one for newsletter, the other
for personal info submission. Consider I need to take care of screen
reader's users, the legend should stay too. Or am I still able to make
the form accessible without legend?
I am inclined to sacrifice the presentation needs however it's not my
call. Client hasn't see the layout, but I know he wants to keep both.
Thanks!
tee
