Can't add Group Box to a form

[Bob Richardson]

When creating a form, I can add all the types of fields EXCEPT a Group Box.
For some reason that is disabled. What's going on?

Hi Bob,

You probably have your compatibility set to Custom. If it were changed to
something like Microsoft Internet Explorer only it would allow the choice.

The Group Box option inserts <Fieldset></Fieldset> tags. Also <legend>
</legend> tags for the gap inside the fieldset tags.
You can insert this manually, with or without the customary gap.

<Fieldset><legend> </legend></Fieldset>

Thanks. Changing to "Microsoft Internet Explorer only" did the trick.

What happens if a Netscape user looks at the Group Box on my form. Is this
only a problem with Netscape 4.0 and earlier, or would it apply to current
versions of Netscape?

NN4xx ignores the <fieldset> and <legend> tags, but displays any text in the
<legend> (using the browsers default font and font size if formatting is
specified by CSS).
Later versions of Netscape display the groupbox and legend as formatted.
