fieldset>input.textfield

[luke]

I'm trying to use an image as a background for a text input box.

<form>
<fieldset><input type="text" name ="blah" class="cheese"></fieldset>
</form>

I'm using this code as part of my css to overcome a background repeat bug in
IE 5/6.

fieldset>input.textfield {
background: transparent
url("image.jpg") no-repeat;
}
This works great. The only problem I have now is that it seems the
<fieldset> tag is causing problems in Opera. Is there any way I can ditech
the fieldset and still have the CSS code above?

form>input.textfield {
background: transparent
url("image.jpg") no-repeat;
}

Changing "fieldset" to "form" doesn't work. Any ideas?

Then stop wanting that. With any luck it won't work, but in the
unfortunate event that it does, it tends to reduce usability.

Users know what an input area looks like on their particular browser,
and it does them no favours to confuse that expectation.
