Legend Tag

I'm trying to line up two columns in a form using html check boxes but
haven't been successful in aligning the right side. Left side is easy
enough but I can't get the right side to align within the legend tag.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried using a table but that places the
right hand side outside of the legend tag, though does a good job of
alignment. Thanks, John

//desired left side:
<fieldset style="text-align:left;">
<legend><b>Type</b></legend>
<input type="checkbox" />Peanuts <br />
<input type="checkbox" />Popcorn <br />
<input type="checkbox" />Corn on the cob. <br />

//desired right side:
<input type="checkbox" />Apples <br />
<input type="checkbox" />Oranges and Pears <br />
<input type="checkbox" />Bananas <br />
</fieldset>

'fieldset'. :-) I'm trying to have left side and right side check
boxes and am having a difficult time in getting good alignment of the
right hand check boxes with the script above so am hopeful that
there's a trick I can use to accomplish this while keeping all 6 check
boxes in the same fieldset.

Stop trying that.

For clarity, usability, and accessibility, put one field together with its
label on one line. End of story. End of problems.
This is more logical and more accessible:

<div><input type="checkbox" id="peanuts" ...<label
for="peanuts">Peanuts</label></div>

Check your favorite HTML tutorial for info on <label>. If there's no such
info on it, restart learning HTML from a better tutorial.

example markup to show you how it should be used:

<legend>Chuck Norris</legend>
