<fieldset> & <legend>

Hoping to use above in a website -looks really good in explorer and
opera but in my beloved Mozilla Firefox the lines don't meet correctly -
anyone know any coding i can use to sort? would be really good if it
would round corners a la IE.

TIA

You mean fieldset and legend? (Never refer to the Subject line in the
message body. Just repeat what needs to be repeated.)

You use them by the specification, right?

-looks really good in explorer

You mean Internet Explorer, not Explorer, right?

opera but in my beloved Mozilla Firefox the lines don't meet

What do you mean by lines meeting, and what is your definition of
"correctly"? There is no definition of how fieldset and legend should
be rendered.

If you mean the spacing inside a fieldset, it can - with the usual
caveats - be affected by setting padding properties for the fieldset
element, using CSS.

IE does not round corners except in a few versions of Windows.

You're abusing fieldset there. The fieldset element, by definition, as
the name suggests, specifies a collection of form fields. You are
apparently using it for its assumed visual rendering only, and now
you're complaining that it does not give the desired visual rendering.
In fact, on my computer, the appearance is less readable on IE than on
Mozilla.

Use <h2>, <div>, and CSS instead.

Hey thanks for the reply its was more or less helpful. However, abuse

is rather a hard word - do you ever reply to anyone with less html
knowledge than yourself without being condescending.

Apparently you did not read it comprehensively, though - fullquoting is
the usual way of signalling lack of comprehensive reading on Usenet.

However, abuse is rather a hard word -

"Make wrong use of something", says a dictionary. Using an element of a
formal language against its specification is wrong, by definition.

Now here's a hard word for you: You insult me, and much worse, you are
a coward who does not even do it under her or his own name. Consider
yourself plonked, and consider my planned further help for you
(consisting of a style sheet design for simulating <fieldset>
appearance) canceled. HTH. HAND.

Well read in web techniques and NG etiquette you may think you are -but

you are lacking in interpersonal skills -some of us live in the real
world where it costs nothing to be nice to people.
