html - What does the fieldset element's name attribute do? -


i understand general semantics of <fieldset>, along how name attribute on <fieldset> can used give meaning group of inputs. w3 wiki has number of examples this.

however, don't understand name attribute on <fieldset> elements when submitting forms. according mdn, name submitted form data. w3c mentions it's element's name, used in form submission.

when trying out name attribute on <fieldset> though, don't see being submitted rest of form data. it's unclear me if has use other semantics.

is name attribute on <fieldset> elements supposed submitted form data? if so, have value? do?

however, don't understand name attribute on <fieldset> elements when submitting forms.

nothing.

you've tested yourself:

when trying out name attribute on <fieldset> though, don't see being submitted rest of form data.

it appears error in summary of spec (presumably copied input @ point) has been copied onto mdn reference.

the rules form submission don't mention fieldsets.

w3c mentions it's element's name, used in form submission.

the complete quote is:

name - name of form control use form submission , in form.elements api

the form.elements api (along generic dom apis getelementsbyname) place attribute has actual effect.
