I'm trying to set a top margin on a div nested within a fieldset in CSS. Mozilla
let's me specify left and right margins but not top margins. Is there something
weird about the box model here?

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Margin top on Fieldset</title>
</head>
<body>

<form style="padding: 0;" action="hh.htm" method="get">
	<fieldset style="display: block; background-color: blue;">
	<legend>hkjh</legend>
	<div style="margin-top: 400px; background-color: #ccffcc;">
	Blah  <input type="text" id="test" name="test" value="test text" /> <br />
	</div>
	</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Doesn't accept the top margin defintion (IE does).

Expected Results:  
There should be a bit of space there.
This has probably to do with special handling for FIELDSET.
