CAPTION - Table caption

This element is also available in our updated HTML 4 reference. Some characteristics may have changed.

Appearance:	<CAPTION> </CAPTION>
Attributes:	ALIGN=top\|bottom
Contents:	TT, I, B, U, STRIKE, BIG, SMALL, SUB, SUP, EM, STRONG, DFN, CODE, SAMP, KBD, VAR, CITE, A, APPLET, IMG, FONT, BASEFONT, BR, MAP, INPUT, SELECT, TEXTAREA and plain text.
May occur in:	TABLE.

The CAPTION tag is used to provide a caption for a TABLE. This caption can either appear above or below the table. This can be indicated with the ALIGN attribute. It is usually centered with respect to the table itself, and usually appears in bold or is emphasized in some other way.

The tag should appear directly below the TABLE tag, before the first TR.

Notes:

Although you can use all text-level markup inside a CAPTION, it should be brief, so don't include images or large amounts of text in it.
