Description:
The HTML caption element gives a title for the table in which it is declared. It is usually displayed at the top of the table (by default) and with a bigger font size.
The HTML caption tag defines a table caption.
The <caption> tag must be inserted immediately after the <table> tag.
You can specify only one caption per table.
Tip: By default, the table caption will be center-aligned above a table. However, the CSS properties "text-align" and "caption-side" can be used to align and place the caption.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5:
The align attribute is removed from HTML5.
Example:
| Code | View | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
<table> <caption>London's temp. / 1st half of 2010</caption> <tr> <td>January</td> <td>February</td> <td>March</td> <td>April</td> <td>May</td> <td>June</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5ºC</td> <td>1ºC</td> <td>4ºC</td> <td>8ºC</td> <td>12ºC</td> <td>15ºC</td> </tr> </table> |
