Except what Ian described for <fieldset> is different from what CSS 2.1 requires for overflow non-visible elements... I'm re-quoting what Ian said, for reference: >> IMHO the default rendering of <button> should be 'inline-block' and >> the default rendering of <fieldset> should be 'block', with the >> <legend> positioned over the border edge either via positioning or via >> extra-CSS means. But I acknowledge that this is not normatively >> defined anywhere. So per Ian, a <fieldset> is just another block. I just tested Safari 1.0.3 (has this been changed since?) and overflow:hidden box size is affected by floating descendants, whereas fieldset size is not. So I'm not sure how to read your statement, which implies that they behave identically... -Boris
