The HTML form and form elements help us get user inputs. But too many controls confuse the users when they visit an HTML page with a form. In this article, you will learn about fieldset which groups controls together to give a clean look.

Fieldset tag

The <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#a80c0c" class="has-inline-color"><fieldset></mark> tag is used to group HTML form elements together. The HTML elements under fieldset will appear to be in a box. To understand what fieldset is create an HTML page – example-fieldset.html and insert the following codes.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
     <title>Fieldset Control</title>
</head>
<body>
     <h1>Fieldset Example</h1>
     <form action="example.php">
     <fieldset>
          <legend>Personal Information</legend>
          <p><input type = "text" name="First Name" placeholder="enter first name"/></p>
          <p><input type = "text" name="Last Name" placeholder="enter last name"/></p>
          <p><input type = "email" name="Email" placeholder="enter email"/></p>
          <p><input type = "text" name="Mobile" placeholder="enter mobile number"/></p>
          <p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"/></p>
     </fieldset>
     </form>
</body>
</html>

The fieldset has another tag – <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#b70e0e" class="has-inline-color"><legend>...</legend></mark> which gives a meaningful title to the group. In the example above, you are trying to collect user personal information, then the legend is Personal Information.
