CSS: IE7 fieldset/legend issues

Spacing inside of the fieldset can be fixed by adding: padding-top: 2em to the fieldset CSS in fix-ie7.css

Otherwise it works for me. But I think the name attribution should be removed unless you have a specific reason for including it. We don't do this in Drupal and it would quickly bloat the source code if it became standard practice.

Unless it's a really trivial, you shouldn't RTBC your own patch.

I'll review and provide a patch as soon as I get IE7 installed. I don't think the current patch is the way to go. What happens when the text size is changed? Your use of absolute positioning and negative margins in em's looks like it would turn out unpredictable results. Instead, it should all flow as relative position.

That looks good. I already rolled a patch that fixes it another way and uses a css selector hack. Doesn't cause any validation errors though. Generally not the best way to go but I figured, it's for a single rule.

/* Targets IE 7. Fixes background image in field sets. */
*:first-child+html fieldset {
  padding: 0 1em 1em;
  background-position: 0 .7em;
}

That's all that was addded.

This works, and once we have enough of IE7 specific issues it would be easy to search for these selectors and move them into their own style sheet.

Agreed. Thanks for the patch, committed.

Sorry for recycling the issue, but here was another D6 fieldset issue found on IE8 in compatibility mode in XP sp3 (x32). It effects the D7 version in both IE8 strict and compatibility modes.

The autocomplete within a fieldset drops below the fieldset legend of any other fieldsets that are below, as seen in the attached screenshot. My initial attempts failed to find a solution but I'm not a CSS hacker :(

The quick hack to produce the autocomplete in the fresh D7 install was to cut and paste the taxonomy autocomplete into the reports section, code pasted below and screenshot attached. To replicate this in D6, free tagging taxonomy produces the error when free tagging vocab autocompletes drop over the menu fieldset below.

<?php
# approx line 290 - modules/dblog/dblog.admin.inc
function dblog_filter_form() {
  $filters = dblog_filters();
  $form['t'] = array(
    '#type' => 'fieldset',
    '#title' => t('Test'),
    '#collapsible' => TRUE,
    '#collapsed' => TRUE,
  );
  $form['t']['taxonomy'] = array('#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => 'test',
    '#default_value' => '',
    '#autocomplete_path' => 'taxonomy/autocomplete/1',
    '#maxlength' => 1024,
  );
  $form['filters'] = array(
  // ...
  );
?>

This issue was pointed out in the taxiselect issue queue (another issue), and the reporter posted this video of the bug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whZFHIKKY4E

Another issue for the seven theme has a very similar issue for the autocomplete background with the same setup: http://drupal.org/node/539724#comment-1919596
