Definition and Usage
The align attribute specifies the alignment of the caption in a fieldset.Browser Support
The "top", "left" and "right" values of this attribute seems to be well supported in all the major browsers except opera. However, the "bottom" value does not work in any of the major browsers.Compatibility Notes
The align attribute of the legend element was deprecated in HTML 4.01, and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.Browsers treat the legend element differently, which makes it hard to style with CSS. So, even though the align attribute is deprecated, it may still be the best way of aligning legend text.
