The CAPTION Element

The <CAPTION> Element

You use the <CAPTION> element to add a caption to a table (see Listing 14.10 for an example). As you would expect, this element has its own properties (see Table 14.18). JavaScript's core HTML properties, methods , and events, which we covered in Chapters 5 and 6, also apply to the <CAPTION> element as well.

Table 14.18. The Properties of the <CAPTION> Element (See Chapters 5 and 6 for the JavaScript core HTML properties, methods, and events that also apply to this element.)
