Fieldset
Fieldsets group form controls and labels into organized sections. Much like a <section>
or other structural element, the <fieldset> is a block-level element that wraps related
elements, specifically within a <form> element, for better organization (see Figure
10.18 ) . Fieldsets, by default, also include a border outline, which can be modified using
CSS.

Legend
A legend provides a caption, or heading, for the <fieldset> element. The <legend>
element wraps text describing the form controls that fall within the fieldset. The markup
should include the <legend> element directly after the opening <fieldset> tag. On
the page, the legend will appear within the top left part of the fieldset border (see Figure
10.19 ) .
