caption-side property

The caption-side property specifies a position of a table caption created using the <caption> tag. The property can have two values: top (at the top of a table, by default) or bottom (below the table).

Syntax

selector {
	caption-side: top | bottom;
}

Example

Let's place the caption above the table:

<table border="1" width="300">
	<caption>Table</caption>
	<tr>
		<th>Head</th>
		<th>Description</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>text1</td>
		<td>text2</td>
	</tr>
</table>

table {
	width: 100%;
	border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
	width: 200px;
	height: 100px;
	text-align: center;
}
caption {
	caption-side: top;
	font-weight: bold;
}

Example

Now let's move the caption below the table:

<table border="1" width="300">
	<caption>Table</caption>
	<tr>
		<th>Head</th>
		<th>Description</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>text1</td>
		<td>text2</td>
	</tr>
</table>

table {
	width: 100%;
	border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
	width: 200px;
	height: 100px;
	text-align: center;
}
caption {
	caption-side: bottom;
	font-weight: bold;
}
