# HTML <fieldset> tag

## Function:

The HTML <fieldset> tag is used for grouping related form elements. By using the fieldset tag and the legend tag, you can make your forms much easier to understand for your users.

## Difference between HTML and XHTML:

The align attribute is deprecated in HTML as well as in XHTML.

## Example:

    <fieldset style="text-align:right;">
    <legend><b>Address Details</b></legend>
    Name <input type="text" />
    Address <input type="text" />
    City <input type="text" />
    State <input type="text" />
    </fieldset>

This will produce following result:

Address Details Name
Address
City
State
