Fieldset/legend display error

Fieldset/legend display error

I am getting a recurring error on the various forms that I have created using the form builder. I am inserting the form onto a contact page that has been created with CSS sculptor 3. The contact page is a two column layout.

The display error I get occurs only when I insert the form into this two column page layout. On a standard one column page I do not get this display error. The Fieldset/legend border seems to split perform in half. I have attached both screenshots of the forms in the different pages.

I have spent endless hours trying to resolve this issue. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

What is the width of the surrounding container(s) for the form that is having an error?

Could you post a link to a page that I can see the error occurring?

Surrounding container width details:

#outerWrapper {

margin: 0 auto 0 auto; /* Sets the margin properties for an element using shorthand notation (top, right, bottom, left) */

width: 960px;
}

#outerWrapper #contentWrapper #leftColumn1 {
background-color: #FFFF99;
border-right: solid 1px #996600; /* Sets the right border properties for an element using shorthand notation */
float: left;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; /* Sets the padding properties for an element using shorthand notation (top, right, bottom, left) */
width: 200px;

margin-left: 220px;

The contact form shows up correctly when I take a look at that link in the browser. What browser are you using to view the pages?

I get the display error on both IE 6 & IE7. FF displays form correctly but below left column div. Please help with css code and where to place to correct FF error.

You will have to set the position to absolute form.CSat_Yellow CSS block to get the form to position correctly on the page in FF. You will also have to set the height of the containing box so that the bottom of the form is not cut off.

For the form not displaying correctly, try setting the width to something greater than 960px on the outerWrapper, which it is set to currently.

Positioning problem

Greetings Jimmy,

I have been away on extended leave.

I have set the form block to absolute positioning.

The paragraph below the form has now moved up to above the form block. The form also overlaps the footer of the page.

Any suggestions to correct this.

What you can try is to put the form in a div and set the width and height of the div so that the text is below that div and the footer will also be pushed down as well.

Corrected

Following your instructions has corrected the display errors. Setting the width of my form from 500px to 600px has also resolved the display error in IE6 & IE7.

Thank you for your help in resolving this error. Much appreciated.
