The Fieldset Element

The fieldset element represents an html <fieldset> and is used to group related elements in the form. Elements within a fieldset are surrounded by the border of the fieldset and a caption (called a legend) appears along the left side of the top border of the fieldset:


Fieldset Legend

Create a fieldset by clicking 'Fieldset' under the Form Groups heading in the 'Add New Element' menu:

Then edit the attribute for the fieldset

and click the 'Create' button.

ID

ID is the document object model identifier for the fieldset. The important thing to remember about any id you assign is to make it unique among all the elements in the form. The editor will remind you if you try to assign a duplicate id to any element.

Legend

Legend is the text that will appear as a caption for the fieldset (at the top-left border).

Editing / Deleting a Fieldset

The "Edit Fieldset" form is the same as the "Add New Fieldset" form with two exceptions.

First, the current values for each attribute are filled in. Edit these attributes as you wish then click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the form to save your changes.

Additionally, a link to delete the fieldset can be found below the 'Save' button:

Click this link to permanently delete the fieldset.

Note that when you delete a fieldset from your form, any form elements that were grouped in the fieldset are automatically removed before it is deleted and will remain in the form. See the Controls Overview documentation for more information.
