 hello

when I use

<fieldset><legend></legend>
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Course">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="allemails">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thanks.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="name,user-email">
</fieldset>

this is OK with IE 7 but with Firefox 2.0.0.9 I get an empty box with
a line round it.

How do I get rid of this box?

Cheers

Geoff

Umm... don't use 'fieldset'? (:-))

From the first entry I googled up:

"HTML <fieldset> tag

Definition and Usage
The fieldset element draws a box
around its containing elements"

Did you actually want a 'frameset', maybe?

Cheers,

[BTW, I cut & pasted your code snippet, and ran it through 'tidy',
which *objected* to the empty 'legend', and removed it! Still got
the box in firefox, though]

Er... Scratch that last line! Dunno where my mind was -- way off to the
left somewhere, I guess. Framesets have of course nothing to do with
the situation.

Set the fieldset's borders to nothing or set display to hidden =]

<fieldset> doessn't have a 'border' attribute.. I guess you mean that
he should use a style, which in fact does work in Firefox, but I'm not
sure that this is the right approach anyway.

What [asking the OP] is the purpose of the fieldset here, if it's not to
group visible elements? That seems to be its intended purpose, so
why enclose *hidden* elements at all?
