HTML Troubleshooting- Fieldset Tag Doesn't Appear/Work

In this article, we go over how to troubleshoot the fieldset tag if it is not working.

If the fieldset isn't showing up in your web page, the most common problem is that the border attribute of the fieldset tag is set to none in the CSS file.

Check your CSS file's fieldset tag:

fieldset {margin:0;padding:0;border:none}

If it is like the following above, with the border set to none, that is the reason it is not showing up in your HTML web page.

Switch the border attribute to "solid", as below:

fieldset {margin:0;padding:0;border:solid}

Now it should show up and appear.
