fieldset std padding

[freelance84]

Fieldsets....

 

I've noticed that fieldsets have some default padding, this prevents a div filling the fieldset width 100% (it leaves little gaps left and right)

 

If I set padding left and right in the fieldset to be zero this then solves the above problem but creates another with the legends... it pulls the legend close up to the left hand side.

 

I'm happy with the default positioning of the legends and really don't want to start messing around with them.

 

Is there another way to solve this problem?

Have you tried adding some margins onto the left and right of the legend?

played around with the legend, float left and rel position up and right.

Has anyone had any success with moving the legend around in ie6?

 

The above success applied to ff chrome and opera, but in ie6 it push the legend about 100px above the fieldset and made some of the content of the fieldset appear outside the the borders???

Ha, never mind i've solved already 

 

I simply changed the legends to divs but with the same class:

 

	background-color: #9ccfe4;
font-weight: bold;

padding-right: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;

border-left-width: 2px;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #9ccfe4;

float: left;

position: relative;
top: -20px;
left: -2px;}
