Help with <fieldset> formatting

[doucie]

I have this

 

<fieldset>

<legend>Please Log In</legend>

<form action="home.php" method="POST" />

Username:<input type="text" name="username"/>

Password:<input type="password" name="password"/>

Email:<input type="text" name="email"/>

<input type="submit" value="Login" />

</form>

</fieldset>

 

and this

 

fieldset {

font-family: Monaco, Verdana, Sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

background-color: #f9f9f9;

border: 1px solid #D0D0D0;

color: #666666;

margin: 14px 0px 14px 0;

padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;

}

 

but for some reason the background colour overlaps the border at the top of the fieldset by about 15pixels.  Any ideas how to keep the background within the border??

fieldset and legend should be inside the form

Changed to this, same problem!

 

 

<form action="home.php" method="POST" />

<fieldset>

<legend>Please Log In</legend>

Username:<input type="text" name="username"/>

Password:<input type="password" name="password"/>

Email:<input type="text" name="email"/>

<input type="submit" value="Login" />

</fieldset>

</form>

Ah, this is an Internet Explorer glitch, found a fix here
