[Websg Meetup] Russ Weakley's CSS Worshop

[choonkeat]

I see, so they're replacing something else. I'll switch my habit of grouping
with divs/h2s/h3s to using fieldset+legend combo instead.

<form ...>
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Some Context</legend>
    <dl>
      <dt><label for="someid">Name</label></dt>
      <dd><input id="someid" ... /></dd>
    <dl>
  </fieldset>
</form>

In order to be accessible with least effort, this shall be the way I markup
all my forms. Styling is a separate matter.

Thanks for the enlightenment ppl!

Cheers

Russ was explaining how blind users read fieldsets, apparently, if you group

fieldset and legend are for grouping common items in a form together,
> that's all. use them all together for an accessible form. good luck.
