Hi,

I am preparing a family history site with a fair few images and have
tried several methods of using CSS to get a caption under images.
These are images floated left and right as well as images centred by
enclosing them in p tags. A typical page is:

At the moment I am depending on title tags alone on the images as
most of the methods I have tried and read about are cumbersome and
convoluted or depend on images being all the same size on a page.

A great example is:

which starts simply and becomes more and more complex, leading to his
question: 'So now we have a bunch of nested DIVs. How is this any
better than the nested tables they replace?' Which he answers
beautifully of course :-)

Can anybody suggest a straightforward way to put captions under all
these images using CSS?

Thanks for your trouble,

Andrew.

PS I have an unkind thought that this could actually be done fairly
easily using tables :-). Hmmmmm.....
