HTML <fieldset> Tag

In an HTML form, the logically related fields or labels can be grouped using the HTML <fieldset> tag. It is however not a mandatory tag for creating an HTML form. It is used with the HTML <legend> tag to define a caption for the grouped related fields as a first child.

Syntax:

<fieldset>.....</fieldset>

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form>
 <fieldset>
  <legend>Undergraduate Details:</legend><br>
  Name of University: <input type="text"><br><br>
  Year of Passing: <input type="text"><br><br>
  Aggregate Marks: <input type="text"><br><br> 
  <input type="Submit"> 
 </fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
