What are the considerations for placing buttons (submit, reset) within fieldsets in forms?

  • It allows the buttons to inherit the styles of the fieldset. 
  • It ensures the buttons are aligned to the left of the form. 
  • It groups the buttons semantically under the fieldset legend. 
  • Placing them within a fieldset can lead to confusion as fieldsets are meant for grouping related form controls. 
Fieldsets are traditionally used to group related form controls under a common heading, which is provided by the legend element. While it's technically possible to place buttons inside a fieldset, doing so might be semantically incorrect unless the buttons are directly related to the grouped controls. Also, it might confuse users who expect fieldsets to contain only related data input fields.
