From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73C-CCK-MCD AOLNSCP (Macintosh; I; PPC)
BuildID: 2000-08-07-12
No difference from align = left.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to aforementioned URL
2. See error.
Actual Results: No different than align = left.
Expected Results: Should align at the bottom left of the box.
OS: Mac System 9.0 → All
Hardware: Macintosh → All
Summary: Legend align = bottom not working → Legend align = bottom not working
Adding top, left and right attributes to failure list.
Expected behavior left:
On left side of box, not top left.
Expected behavior right:
On right side of box, not top right. As an added bonus, the alignment is staying
with the rightmost text *in* the box, as opposed to the box itself.
Expected behavior top:
Centered on top of box.
Expected behavior bottom:
Center on bottom of box. Not on bottom left as I stated before.
Summary: Legend align = bottom not working → Legend align attributes not working

lorca@netscape.com - can you please attach the testcase to this bug, rather than
leaving it on a Netscape-internal server? Thanks :-)
Gerv
Test case follows. Again, my apologies:).
<html>
<head>
<TITLE>HTML Functional -- LEGEND - ALIGN=bottom</TITLE>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend align="bottom">Teas of India</legend>
<input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Assam"> Assam
<input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Darjeeling"> Darjeeling
<input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Dooars"> Dooars
<input name="toi" type="checkbox" value="Nilgiri"> Nilgiri
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
For other test cases (top, right, left), replace occurences of "bottom" with <
top, right, left>.

I've attached Loco's testcase for easy viewing by non-netscapers. Adding html4
keyword since it's not in the html3.2 spec. Mozilla1.0 nomination.
Keywords: html4,
mozilla1.0

The severity is closer to 'trivial' severity than 'major'. It's only
misaligned text, and align attribute of <legend> is deprecated in HTML 4.0.
Severity: major → trivial

This bug has been presented before under #3590 and #36008 which have both been
verified as 'WONTFIX'. Here are the comments made by evaughan@netscape.com in
bug #36008:
Actually HTML4.0 Deprecated this
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.10
Currently we do what IE does. It looks at left, center, and right. The current
CSS spec says left, top, bottom, right. Which doesn't really make sense. And
when you say "left" do you mean left top? left bottom? It would have been better
for them to just use "align=left|center|right" and valign="top|bottom". So until
they staighten it out. We are doing what makes sense. Besides its deprecated
anyway. And the CSS values for text-align (which usually maps to align) can only
be "left|center|right".
Recommend marking this bug as WONTFIX unless the situation has changed.

There's an i18n problem with the legend alignment. When the FIELDSET direction
is right-to-left, as in:
<DIV dir="rtl">
...RTL-SCRIPT...
<FORM>
<FIELDSET>
<LEGEND>RTL-SCRIPT</LEGEND>
...RTL-SCRIPT...
</FIELDSET>
</FORM>
</DIV>
The legend should be aligned to the right, but Mozilla aligns it to the left. IE
indeed aligns it to the right (without the need to use an 'align' attribute or
style sheet).
When you're writing documents in Hebrew or Arabic you want the legend to appear
on the right, not on the left.

I think I agree with wontfix here. Ian? David? What do you think?

I can't find any browser that supports "bottom". I don't think it would be
particularly good UI. It doesn't map to CSS. It's deprecated. WONTFIX it is...
(But would we accept a patch if we got one? Cos if so, someone will eventually
come along and say "well then it's not really WONTFIX!". Sigh.)
