The <caption> Tag
You
can add a title or caption
to your table by using
a <caption>
tag within a
<table>
. The default placement of the
caption for Netscape and Internet Explorer is above the table and
centered with it. The placement and alignment of the caption is
controlled by special alignment attributes that differ between the
browsers.
In Netscape, the
align
attribute accepts two values:
top
and bottom
. These allow you
to put the caption above or below the table. The default value is
top
.
Internet Explorer, on the other hand, uses the
align
attribute for horizontal placement of the
caption. It accepts values of left
,
right
, and center
(the
default). The vertical positioning of the caption in Internet
Explorer is controlled by a special valign
attribute, which accepts either top
(the default)
or bottom
. Each browser ignores the attributes and
values it does not accept.
