HTML Caption Tutorial

Browser Support

The caption tag allows you to set a caption for a table. The caption tag is coded immediately after the opening <table> tag. In most browsers the caption will be centered above the table.

Here's a small sample table showing the caption tag properly coded:

  <table border="1">
<caption>My Favorite Songs</caption>
  <tr>
  <th>Song</th>
  <th>Artist</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td>Heretics and Privateers</td>
  <td>John Kay</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

And here's how that table would appear on a web page:

My Favorite Songs
Song	Artist
Heretics and Privateers	John Kay
