Notes
• Traditionally, a
<legend>
tag should occur only within a
<fieldset>
tag. There
should be only one
legend
per
fieldset
element.
• Under early drafts of the HTML5 specification, this element is also found in the
figure
and
details
elements. This was later replaced by the
dt
element.
• Some versions of Microsoft documentation show a
valign
attribute for
<legend>
positioning. However, the
valign
attribute does not appear to work consistently
and has since been dropped from the official documentation.
<li> (List Item)
This element is used to indicate a list item as contained in an ordered list (
<ol>
), unordered
list (
<ul>
), or older list styles such as
<dir>
and
<menu>
.
