HTML fieldset: Main Tips

  • The <fieldset> in HTML groups elements inside a <form> element.
  • The <legend> element adds a caption for the <fieldset> element. You need to place it inside the HTML <fieldset> element.

Use of fieldset

The HTML <fieldset> tag groups <form> elements. Normally, a box border is drawn around them.

Example
<form action="login" method="POST">
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Login Form:</legend>
    Username: <input type="text" name="user_name">
    Password: <input type="password" name="user_password">
    <input type="submit" value="Login">
  </fieldset>
</form>

Note: the box border provides some space for captions and creates better visual appearance for the grouped elements.
