<legend>: The Field Set Legend element - HTML | MDN
>
<legend>: The Field Set Legend element
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The <legend>
HTML element represents a caption for the content of its parent <fieldset>
.
In customizable <select>
elements, the <legend>
element is allowed as a child of <optgroup>
, to provide a label that is easy to target and style. This replaces any text set in the <optgroup>
element's label
attribute, and it has the same semantics.
Try it
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose your favorite monster</legend>
<input type="radio" id="kraken" name="monster" value="K" />
<label for="kraken">Kraken</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="sasquatch" name="monster" value="S" />
<label for="sasquatch">Sasquatch</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="mothman" name="monster" value="M" />
<label for="mothman">Mothman</label>
</fieldset>
legend {
background-color: black;
color: white;
padding: 3px 6px;
}
input {
margin: 0.4rem;
}
Attributes
