btw: You can use

* css if you want to set the size of the group box.
* put a table inside the <fieldset> if you need to display tabular data.

complete example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
.aGroupBox{ /* CSS rules for the group box - the fieldset is assigned to this class by class="aGroupBox" */
width:500px;
height:120px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset class="aGroupBox">
<legend>This is a label</legend>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>This is a cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>This is the content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>This is the content</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
