  • The fieldset element allows us to group form controls into logical, related “chunks.” legend then allows us to add a caption to that fieldset, which helps users understand the context of the form controls contained within that fieldset. In some screen readers, the legend is associated with each form control within a fieldset and is read out after each tab of the keyboard, so that a particular control can always be referenced back to its legend.
