Hi all,

I am keith and today I want to let you know all of you "How To Add a Caption to Your Images that Stays with the Image".Please have a look:-

Captions provide extra information about your Web images, but they can be difficult to add to Web pages without some extra HTML and CSS. This explains how to add a simple, yet nice looking caption to your images that will stick with your image where ever you place it on the page.

Add your image to your Web page.

Place a div tag around the image:

<div><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" /></div>

Add a style attribute to the div tag:

<div style=""><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" /></div>


Set the width of the div to the same width as the image, with the width style property:

<div style="width:image width px;"><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" /></div>

I like my captions to be slightly smaller than the surrounding text, so add a font-size property to your div style:

<div style="width:image width px; font-size:80%;"><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" /></div>

# Captions look best if they are centered below the image, so add a text-align property to your style attribute:

<div style="width:image width px; font-size:80%; text-align:center;"><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" /></div>

# Finally, you'll want a little more space between the image and the caption, so you'll need to add a style attribute to your image with a padding-bottom style property on it:

<div style="width:image width px; font-size:80%; text-align:center;"><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" style="padding-bottom:0.5em;" /></div>

# Then add your text caption directly below the image:

<div style="width:image width px; font-size:80%; text-align:center;"><img src="URL" alt="alternate text" width="width" height="height" style="padding-bottom:0.5em;" />This is my caption</div>

# Upload your Web page to your server and test it in a browser.

I think that if you register your website with Google Webmaster Tools you can have it re-spider the site or update cache, or some such thing.
