HTML Element:

Attributes:

ALIGN

This element, legal only within an enclosing 

FIELDSET

, places a label on the

etched border that is drawn around the group of controls. 

ALIGN

This attribute controls the position of the label. Legal values are 

TOP

, 

BOTTOM

, 

LEFT

, and 

RIGHT

, with 

TOP

 being the default. In Figure 16 25, 

the first group has the default legend alignment, and the second 

group stipulates 

ALIGN="RIGHT"

. In HTML, style sheets are often a 

better way to control element alignment, since they permit a single 

change to be propagated to multiple places.
