<fieldset> HTML element not properly implemented #132

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When using the <fieldset></fieldset> HTML element, Flying Saucer does not 
properly render this element when generating PDF files.

At its heart, FS is really a XML + CSS renderer.  It does support some X/HTML 
inasmuch as this can be expressed in CSS (via the UA stylesheet and customized 
by the NamespaceHandler), but doesn't support X/HTML elements like <fieldset> 
directly.

I think in this case though it should be possible to effectively emulate 
<fieldset> by setting a border and position: relative on <fieldset> and then 
using position: absolute on <legend>.  If you come up with an approach that 
works well, please post back here and I'll update the UA stylesheet.
