The following HTML should create a fieldset with a label on the bottom of the frame; however, the label is created on the top of the frame instead. <fieldset> <legend align="bottom">Teas of India</legend> <input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Assam"> Assam <input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Darjeeling"> Darjeeling <input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Dooars"> Dooars <input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Nilgiri"> Nilgiri </fieldset>

The spec for legends is top, bottom, left, right. But this really doesn't make sense. The comments in the original code say we are following IE's lead and using just left, center, and right. To put the legend at the left center or top of the top border. If I'm wrong please correct me on this. -E
As far as I'm concerned, it's fine if we don't fix this. Even so, I had thought - and this is only my interpretation of the spec - that top would put the label at a top-center position, and bottom would put it at bottom-center. I'm leaving this one alone for petersen to verify - perhaps he could ask beppe what she thinks the spec seems to say?
