IE Bugs in Form Rendering – Ruthless automation

IE Bugs in Form Rendering

Some notes for myself on form styling.

IE doesn’t wrap the legend tag, you have to manually line break it if it’s too long.
IE seems to have the fieldset element inherit the container margin and padding, so you can use the * html hack to get around that.

Reference: The Man in Blue. See comments for details.

About

Ruthless Automation is a name I swear I read somewhere, but have never been able to track down. It’s the way I want to approach my work – there’s never an excuse to do something by hand when you can make it easier with some up-front sweat equity.

Currently I’m a web developer in Dayton, Ohio, with a focus on writing HTML and CSS by hand, and enhancing things with jQuery and YUI where needed.

I love beautiful UIs (actually anything that’s done well) and hope to make myself into a designer over time, but want to keep writing code as well. I do that in Emacs and nothing else.

I’m very interested in mobile, especially the iPhone, and I’m learning Objective C on my own to try my hand at an app. The Nexus One is the second best phone I’ve ever seen, though, and it keeps me honest about web apps versus native.

Finally, I live with my wonderful wife and our daughter Grace. Being a father rewards me in ways I never could have imagined, and I try to appreciate that at least once a day.
