Use the fieldset and legend elements to group HTML form controls
October 4th, 2009
The fieldset and legend elements, which should always be used together, allow you to create and name groups of related input fields in HTML forms. By doing this you help users understand how the input fields are related.
How the grouping is conveyed to the user depends mainly on whether the user is sighted or not. Most graphical web browsers draw a border around fieldset elements and render the legend element on top of the border, while screen readers may speak the legend text at the start of each fieldset or before each form control within a fieldset.
