Ah, thanks for pointing that out. The form is simply being used to demonstrate how a form can be laid out so that it’s accessible using HTML and CSS.

To avoid any confusion in future, I may plug it into the phpmailer script when I have a few minutes.

Thanks for spotting that

Ohh Ok Dave. I was using your test form here:

Thanks

Hi Gareth,

It sounds like that will be something to do with the server side language you are using to process the form.

I’d recommend using something like
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ to create the functionality of the form

Hope that helps.

I have read your method with interest but when I attempted a test post of your sample form I got an error about an incorrect http_verb method being used. Did I do something wrong?

I picked up that little tip from Tyssen Design. Hopefully browsers will start to become a bit more consistent with their handling of the fieldset and legend in the future but for now this is the easiest method I've come across for a cross browser solution.

Great guide Dave.

The way you do things closely matches my own techniques. Although I’ve never thought of adding the span to the legend – I may give it a go and see if my legend tag woes disappear.
