# HTMLDocument.addFieldset(3kaya)

Add a new fieldset

## NAME

HTMLDocument::addFieldset - Add a new fieldset

## SYNOPSIS

**ElementTree addFieldset(** *ElementTree parent, String legendtext* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**parent** The parent element (often the form, but in many cases nested fieldsets make sense)

**legendtext** The 'legend' of the fieldset. This text is generally displayed at the top of the fieldset as a descriptive heading.

## DESCRIPTION

Add a new fieldset to a form. Fieldsets are very useful for containing form controls which may not be directly contained within a form.
