Positioning legend tags — what works and what doesn't? To be honest not a lot does.
I've tested — position: absolute, fixed, relative, floats margins and setting widths.
Test page Workaround is not included

2That's intresting, I'll add opera Opera 9 when it is released. I'm still not sure the legend should be moved inside when it is floated. I suppose it depends on how you see the process.

3http://marc.baffl.co.uk/browser_bugs/firefox_overflow_out.html seems to trigger my Norton AntiVirus because a trojan horse has infected the website.
It also tries to download a file from game4all.biz, which contains malware.
I thought that it would be wise to report.

4This link is beneath the report of the bug on the test page. It hasn't got much to do with the actual test page.

5Thanks for the warning about the trojan, I've replaced the infected file and I've contacted my hosting company. Had no idea

6Not sure if anyone is still watching added ie7 beta, It's better but not grate. Also need to write up what looks like an interaction between the position: relative and position: fixed. Will take some time since I don't have xp indoors.

1The results for Opera 9 (tp2) are significantly different from Opera 8.5:
"absolute" and "fixed" appear to work just fine.
Setting the width works.
Floating moves the legend inside of the fieldset.
