Fix for Firefox fieldset bug (printing problem)?

Post by mecha_godzilla »

Hi All,

Before I begin, I'm talking about this bug here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471015

I know this bug is fairly ancient now (and still unresolved two years later apparently!) but does anyone know a practical workaround to this, preferably with CSS? I've tried changing the display: setting to table-column but this doesn't fix it (it does show all my fieldsets but it still cuts off the bottom of any that extend beyond the height of the printed page).

I'm about to deploy a site in the next week or so and this bug has completely snookered me :) Assuming a CSS workaround isn't available, does anyone have a PHP code snippet that will test for a specific type of browser (Firefox), then I'll try and find some way to replace the fieldset tags.

Thanks in advance,

Mecha Godzilla
