HTMLFieldSetElement
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The HTMLFieldSetElement interface provides special properties and methods (beyond the regular HTMLElement interface it also has available to it by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of <fieldset> elements.
Instance properties

HTMLFieldSetElement.disabled-
A boolean value reflecting the
disabledHTML attribute, indicating whether the user can interact with the control. HTMLFieldSetElement.elementsRead only-
The elements belonging to this field set. The type of this property depends on the version of the spec that is implemented by the browser.
HTMLFieldSetElement.formRead only-
An
HTMLFormControlsCollectionorHTMLCollectionreferencing the containing form element, if this element is in a form. If the field set is not a descendant of a form element, then the attribute can be the ID of any form element in the same document it is related to, or thenullvalue if none matches. HTMLFieldSetElement.name-
A string reflecting the
nameHTML attribute, containing the name of the field set. This can be used when accessing the field set in JavaScript. It is not part of the data which is sent to the server. HTMLFieldSetElement.typeRead only-
The string
"fieldset". HTMLFieldSetElement.validationMessageRead only-
A string representing a localized message that describes the validation constraints that the element does not satisfy (if any). This is the empty string if the element is not a candidate for constraint validation (
