Text in Border CSS HTML
Question
I'd like to have a div that looks like this:
Is this possible to do with HTML + CSS? I will also be animating this div with jQuery. When the div is hidden I would like the title and the top line to show.

Yes, but it's not a div , it's a fieldset
fieldset { border: 1px solid #000; }
<fieldset> <legend>AAA</legend> </fieldset>

You can do something like this, where you set a negative margin on the h1 (or whatever header you are using)
div{
height:100px;
width:100px;
border:2px solid black;
}
h1{
width:30px;
margin-top:-10px;
margin-left:5px;
background:white;
}
Note: you need to set a background as well as a width on the h1
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZgEMM/
EDIT
To make it work with hiding the div , you could use some jQuery like this
$('a').click(function(){
var a = $('h1').detach();
$('div').hide();
$(a).prependTo('body');
});
(You will need to modify...)

I know a bit late to the party, however I feel the answers could do with some more investigation/input. I have managed to create the situation without using the fieldset tag - that is wrong anyway as if I'm not in a form then that isn't really what I should be doing.
/* Styles go here */ #info-block section { border: 2px solid black; } .file-marker > div { padding: 0 3px; height: 100px; margin-top: -0.8em; } .box-title { background: white none repeat scroll 0 0; display: inline-block; padding: 0 2px; margin-left: 8em; }
<aside id="info-block"> <section class="file-marker"> <div> <div class="box-title"> Audit Trail </div> <div class="box-contents"> <div id="audit-trail"> </div> </div> </div> </section> </aside>
This can be viewed in this plunk:
What this achieves is the following:
no use of fieldsets.
minimal use if CSS to create effect with just some paddings.
Use of "em" margin top to create font relative title.
use of display inline-block to achieve natural width around the text.
Anyway I hope that helps future stylers, you never know.

Text in Border with transparent text background
.box{ background-image: url("https://i.stack.imgur.com/N39wV.jpg"); width: 350px; padding: 10px; } /*begin first box*/ .first{ width: 300px; height: 100px; margin: 10px; border-width: 0 2px 0 2px; border-color: #333; border-style: solid; position: relative; } .first span { position: absolute; display: flex; right: 0; left: 0; align-items: center; } .first .foo{ top: -8px; } .first .bar{ bottom: -8.5px; } .first span:before{ margin-right: 15px; } .first span:after { margin-left: 15px; } .first span:before , .first span:after { content: ' '; height: 2px; background: #333; display: block; width: 50%; } /*begin second box*/ .second{ width: 300px; height: 100px; margin: 10px; border-width: 2px 0 2px 0; border-color: #333; border-style: solid; position: relative; } .second span { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; } .second .foo{ left: -15px; } .second .bar{ right: -15.5px; } .second span:before{ margin-bottom: 15px; } .second span:after { margin-top: 15px; } .second span:before , .second span:after { content: ' '; width: 2px; background: #333; display: block; height: 50%; }

You can use a fieldset tag.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <form> <fieldset> <legend>Personalia:</legend> Name: <input type="text"><br> Email: <input type="text"><br> Date of birth: <input type="text"> </fieldset> </form> </body> </html>

For a duplicate , here another option with transform, no fieldset ( and rounded border required in the duplicates) :
position or transform can help you too :
* { margin: 0; padding:0; box-sizing:border-box; } .fieldset { border: solid; color: #353fff; border-radius: 1em; margin: 2em 1em 1em; padding:0 1em 1em; } .legend { transform: translatey(-50%); width: max-content; background: white; padding: 0 0.15em; } .fieldset li { list-style-type: " - "; }<div class="fieldset"> <h1 class="legend">Some Title</h1> <ul> <li>Item</li> <li>Item</li> <li>Item</li> <li>Item</li> </ul> </div>

If you are not in a position to add a field set, you can add a background to the element. In my situation, I had different colors in the input element and outside the input element, and also we have a hover color for the input element. So this is a fix I added linear-gradient background with outside color in the top half and transparent color in the bottom half. I added the transparent color to the bottom half inorder to see the hover color when hovered.
.class-name {
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #2a2b2d 50%, transparent 50%);
}

From a practical perspective, I think PeterS has the best answer. It's also presented in a very clear, didactical style.
Just to save others a few minutes converting it into more production-style code, I've done the following. Basically, it's what you would think you need: One div box inside another, with the outer div box providing the border, the inner providing the title contents with a negative margin shifting it up. A third div then contains the actual content.
This is the CSS:
.outer-border-box {
border: 2px solid black; border-top:3px solid black;}
.label-source-box {
padding: 0 3px; height: 100px; margin-top: -0.8em; }
.box-title {
background: white none repeat scroll 0 0;
padding: 0 2px;
margin-left: 4em;
font-weight:700; font-size:18px;
font-family: 'Avenir Next',Helvetica, sans-serif; }
This is the html:
<div class="outer-border-box">
<div class="label-source-box">
<span class="box-title">Promotional </span>
<div class="box-contents">
<h2>this is the contents</h2>
</div> </div> </div>

It is possible by using the legend tag. Refer to http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tag_legend.asp
