Width of Fieldset not working in IE

[dr00bie]

I am trying to set a fieldset width to 95%, but this seems to only work in Firefox. Anyone know of a workaround?

95% of what? Does the fieldset have a parent with a defined width? I see its inside a <p> element which is inside a div with an Id of "content" which is inside something else.

It seems to work for me in IE.

I am fairly new to CSS... If I open the page in Firefox, the fieldset streches across the page, if I open it in IE, it doesn't strech across the page (or 95% of the page).

I got a good question. Is your Firefox window maximized?

Yes it is. I have uploaded 2 screenshots...

Sorry for the size, I didn't want to skimp on the details...

Try to put a min-width:95% property on your fieldset in your CSS and see what that does.

Thanks for the reply.

I removed the width: 95%; and replaced it with min-width: 95%; This still didn't make the fieldset strech out, but it did accomplish what I was trying to do, which was to keep the questions from wrapping (I know that they still could on a lower resolution).

Thanks,
