Default How do I add captions if they are not supported by IE6?

I have read the CSS tutorial at W3Schools.com. It states that the
caption-side property is not supported in IE6. If I want to add captions to
my images, what else can I do?

Not a good source of information.

A table with a caption element is not a correct way to mark up an image
and a caption, used correctly the caption element should describe the
nature of the table.

<p><img ... ><br>caption</p>

Optionally specify the width of the <pelement, set text-align to
"center", float the <petc.

It may have helped you get some idea of CSS, but it's certainly a wrong idea
to some extent at least. Try to find something better, such as a good book
on CSS. Check the FAQ resources of this group for some hints.

You can use the align="bottom" attribute in HTML.

On the other hand, there are several ways to add captions to images, though
_none_ of them is really good - there is no HTML markup for the purpose, so
everything is more or less kludgery. But see some ideas at
