The 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

cssselector {
  caption-side: top | bottom;
}

Example

Let's place the caption above the table:

html<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>

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

Now let's move the caption below the table:

html<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>

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