			TAG: legend
			<legend> ... </legend> Available in versions: 4.0 Browser compatibility: Explorer 4, 5 Netscape 6 The <legend> tag is used to create a caption for the form elements associated with a fieldset group. Therefore, this tag can only be used inside the fieldset element. The browser is supposed to render the legend caption in a special manner to accentuate the appearance. This tag is one of three tags implemented in 4.0 that help set the appearance of a form. The other two are fieldset and label. However, these three tags are poorly implemented by most browsers. The closing tag is mandatory.
