Grouping related form elements

What are we facing?

I have forms with lots of fields and controls to request information from users. I want improve my forms by creating groups of related elements.

The Solution

The FIELDSET HTML element allows the grouping of related form elements. It is a nice alternative of a TABLE or DIV tag since it is created for this specific propose. The optional LEGEND tag specifies a description of the grouping.

Example: 


<form action="InsertInfo.aspx">
     <fieldset>
        <legend>Personal information</legend>
        Name: <input type="text" />
        <br />
        Age: <input type="text" />
        <br />
     </fieldset>
     <fieldset>
        <legend>Subscription information</legend>
        <input type="radio" /> Year <br />
        <input type="radio" /> Six months <br />                       
        <br />
     </fieldset>
     <fieldset>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
     </fieldset>
</form>
