Default CSS values for a fieldset <legend>

http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/how_to_position_the_legend_element.asp

Simply put, it is not possible across browsers to position the LEGEND element in a Fieldset.

workaround: wrap the text from <legend> in a <span>, then reposition the <span>

@jnpcl - hate to be mean but did you read the whole question? `Yes, I can add a margin/padding/top coordinate but I want to know if the browser has any default values for the element that trigger this layout. I want to then, override these values.`

From the article I linked, it appears that the default values are not override-able.

If he's targeting "all modern browsers" then I'm with @jnpcl on this one. +1

@jnpcl - I'll remove my downvote since you deleted the code which used positioning.
