# --description--
The next form topic covers the accessibility of radio buttons. Each choice is given a `label` with a `for` attribute tying to the `id` of the corresponding item as covered in the last challenge. Since radio buttons often come in a group where the user must choose one, there's a way to semantically show the choices are part of a set.
The `fieldset` tag surrounds the entire grouping of radio buttons to achieve this. It often uses a `legend` tag to provide a description for the grouping, which screen readers read for each choice in the `fieldset` element.
The `fieldset` wrapper and `legend` tag are not necessary when the choices are self-explanatory, like a gender selection. Using a `label` with the `for` attribute for each radio button is sufficient.
Here's an example:
```html
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose one of these three items:</legend>
<input id="one" type="radio" name="items" value="one">
<label for="one">Choice One</label><br>
<input id="two" type="radio" name="items" value="two">
<label for="two">Choice Two</label><br>
<input id="three" type="radio" name="items" value="three">
<label for="three">Choice Three</label>
</fieldset>
</form>
```
# --instructions--
Camper Cat wants information about the ninja level of his users when they sign up for his email list. He's added a set of radio buttons and learned from our last lesson to use `label` tags with `for` attributes for each choice. Go Camper Cat! However, his code still needs some help. Change the `div` tag surrounding the radio buttons to a `fieldset` tag, and change the `p` tag inside it to a `legend`.
# --hints--
Your code should have a `fieldset` tag around the radio button set.
```js
assert($('fieldset').length == 1);
```
The `fieldset` element should have a closing tag.
```js
assert(
code.match(/<\/fieldset>/g) &&
code.match(/<\/fieldset>/g).length === code.match(/<fieldset>/g).length
);
```
Your code should have a `legend` tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.
```js
assert($('legend').length == 1);
```
Your code should not have any `div` tags.
```js
assert($('div').length == 0);
```
Your code should no longer have a `p` tag around the text asking what level ninja a user is.
```js
assert($('p').length == 4);
```
