This is just a quick post about something I learned the other day. Do you learn everyday on the internet? I do. I thought I would share something very simple that some bloggers might want to use.
What is an HTML fieldset and why would you want to know? W3schools defines a the fieldset element as follows:
“The fieldset element draws a box around its containing elements.”
This is a fieldset:
What is good for? Does it kind of look like a VB frame? Possible uses could be as a text accent, a text format, or most commonly at the bottom of a blog post for related items. Many bloggers use plugins to generate a list of related posts.
The code for the fieldset is simple. Here is the code for the example above:
<fieldset>
<legend>Example Fieldset:</legend>
Text in Fieldset
</fieldset>
See I told you it was simple. Now fieldsets like almost any piece of HTML can be formatted with CSS. You can format the box any way you like. But I will not discuss that here. Let’s keep it simple.
If you want to add a box at the bottom of your post a list of links the Fieldset should do the trick.
