How we can group data in HTML forms?

HTML Web Development Front End Technology

We use the <fieldset> tag, to group related data in HTML forms. This tag creates a box around the related elements on the web page. The <legend> tag is used inside the <fieldset> tag to give a caption to the group or name to the group.

Syntax

<fieldse>…..</fieldset>

Example 1

Following is an example to group data in HTML forms using the <legend> tag inside the <fieldset> tag −


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8">
   <meta name="description" content="meta tag in the web document">
   <meta name="keywords" content="HTML,CSS">
   <meta name="author" content="lokesh">
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<body>
   <form>
      <fieldset>
         <legend>Employee Details</legend>
         Employee Name<br>
         <input type="text" name="Ename">
