Re: Legend with in a fielset

Hello Ashitosh,
First thought is: can the legend text be shortened and be
significantly briefer? The legend text is read with every fields in
the fieldset and it will pose a usability problem.
Using the <br> tag is the easiest. Else you can split the legend text
into two span or div elements and then float one below the other. Will
need some trial and error to get it just right across IE/FF and other
browsers you care to test in.
Rightho,
