Problem in IE8:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The upper half of the <fieldset> border goes missing. This problem has been discussed here<\/a> and shown here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

HTML:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\r\n<form action="login.php" method="post" id="login"> \r\n  <fieldset>\t\t\r\n    <legend>Login<\/legend>\r\n    <label for="username" class="label">Username<\/label>\r\n    <input type="text" name="username" id="username"\/>\r\n    <label for="password" class="label">Password<\/label>\r\n    <input type="password" name="password" id="password" \/>\r\n    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" \/>\r\n  <\/fieldset>\r\n<\/form>\r\n<\/pre>\n
CSS:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\r\nfieldset {\r\n\tborder: 1px solid #333;\r\n}\r\n\r\nlegend {\r\n\tdisplay: none;\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
The workaround:<\/strong><\/p>\n
It looks like the problem occurs only when you set the <legend> to display: none in CSS.   To solve this, we will need to add a span element inside the legend and set it to display: none and remove display: none from legend.   <\/p>\n
Updated HTML:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\r\n    <legend><span>Login<span><\/legend>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Updated CSS:<\/strong><\/p>\n
legend {\r\n}\r\n\r\nlegend span {\r\n\tdisplay: none;\r\n}<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
