    After opening the tag of field set i.e. “
    ”, you have to open a new tag which is known as legend i.e. “

    ” in which you will define the caption for all the elements of your field set. It is extremely important for you to use the legend tag because the caption enables the software programmer to assess the purpose of the field set. If you have not created a legend within the field set, a new developer will not be able to find it. Furthermore, you may also face issues in finding a particular field set if you have not created the legend tag.
