The error continues if you change the Legend to display:block and apply a width then also. Internet Explorer 7 shows the same error, although Opera and Safari for PC (Beta) show the correct behaviour by making the legend wrap one it reaches the width for Legend. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a HTML page using the HTML provided in additional information 2. Open Firefox 3. View Page Actual Results: The text in the legend exceeds the width of the fieldset and simply overflows the element rather than wrapping onto another line to keep the legend width. Expected Results: The legend should wrap so that it keeps the set width of the legend. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <style type="text/css"> #content{width:400px;} #content ul{width: 100%;color: #000000;height: auto;text-align: left;text-decoration: none;list-style-type: none;} #content li{list-style:none;font: 10pt tahoma, sans-serif;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;} #content label{font: normal small tahoma, sans-serif;color:#e6308f;width: 10em;float: left;text-align: left;margin-right: 4em;display: block;} #content input{color: #e6308f;font-size: 90%;width:230px;} #content textarea{width:230px;font: 80% verdana, sans-serif;color: #e6308f;} #content checkbox{border: 1px, #e6308f;} #content input.submit {width: 100px;} </style> </head> <body> <div id="content"> <!--START OUTER FIELDSET--> <fieldset> <legend>Advanced Settings</legend> <!--START INNER FIELDSET--> <fieldset> <legend>Limit the number of submission a user may send within a specified time period.</legend> <ul> <li> <label for="txtName">Name</label> <input name="txtName" type="text" id="txtName" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtOrganisation">Organisation</label> <input name="txtOrganisation" type="text" id="txtOrganisation" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtTelephone">Telephone</label> <input name="txtTelephone" type="text" maxlength="20" id="txtTelephone" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtEmail">Email</label> <input name="txtEmail" type="text" maxlength="255" id="txtEmail" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtEnquiry">Enquiry</label> <textarea name="txtEnquiry" rows="6" cols="20" id="txtEnquiry" cols="10"></textarea> </li> <li> <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Send" id="btnSubmit" class="submit" /> </li> </ul> </fieldset> <!--END INNER FIELDSET--> <ul> <li> <label for="txtName">Name</label> <input name="txtName" type="text" id="Text1" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtOrganisation">Organisation</label> <input name="txtOrganisation" type="text" id="Text2" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtTelephone">Telephone</label> <input name="txtTelephone" type="text" maxlength="20" id="Text3" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtEmail">Email</label> <input name="txtEmail" type="text" maxlength="255" id="Text4" /> </li> <li> <label for="txtEnquiry">Enquiry</label> <textarea name="txtEnquiry" rows="6" cols="20" id="Textarea1" cols="10"></textarea> </li> <li> <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Send" id="Submit1" class="submit" /> </li> </ul> </fieldset> <!--END OUTER FIELDSET--> </div> </body> </html>
