[Forum] Fieldset and Legend

[TimberFloorAu]

Can we still use this in vb4?

I should have thought so, as it is basic html.

I have a page: and the code is:

<fieldset>
<legend><b>Some title here</b></legend>
<p>Some content here</p>
</fieldset>

Yet it is not appearing on the page as it should.

Is there a reason ?

Where are you adding that? I believe in 3.8 there was css to define the looks of those tags and I don't know if that css in is vb4. Look at the page source for the page you are adding that to and see if it shows up there. Also, look at the code used for other stuff around that area you want your code to show up and you should probably adjust yours to be the same/similar.

The legend shows, but fieldset doesnt. I have never known it to be a css issue as its a standard html protocol.

CSS can be used to change the basic way normal html tags act. Just look at what they did with <ol> and <li> tags in areas that then carried over into posts (an early bug that has since been fixed). fieldset has css applied to it in several cases - just do a search for "fieldset" in the templates and the look at the css templates it shows up in. I would use firebug to see exactly what is going on with it and if other css is effecting it.
