Table Captions

HTML 4.0 introduced the caption element for providing a descriptive title to a table. CSS 2.1 assigns it special behaviors and its own property, caption-side, for positioning the caption above or below the table.

Warning

Internet Explorer for Windows (Versions 6 and earlier) do not support the caption-side property. Support in IE 7, in beta as of this writing, is currently undocumented.
