HTML - How Do I Add Captions To Images
I have a lot of images I want to put on a page. I have no trouble sizing them, and
lining them up as I want. I am however having big-time trouble getting captions under them. Is there somewayt to do this either in html or CSS? Including a sample. Want to take the alt text and change to caption, centered under each photo. Anyhelp would be appreciated. <html> <head> <title>In The Field</title> </head> <style type="text/css"> img {border: 4px solid black; float: center; padding: 40px; margin: 40px; font-family: "GC Times": color: white; body{font-family: Verdana; impress;} h1 {font-size: 25;} h2 {font-size: 35;} h3 {font-size: 30;} p {text-indent: 3em;} text {font-weight: bold;} } </style> <body leftmargin="100" rightmargin="50"> <body bgcolor="#FFA07A"> <hr color="black"> <h1 align="center"><font color="black" font size="45">"A Few Photos"</h1> <hr color="black"> <br> <h1 align="left"><font color="tan" font size="5"></h1> <a href="thumbs/Auto.jpg"><img src="images/AutoGiveaway.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Harry Bodofsky, FMDAC VP giving the keys to the lucky winner at Treasure Weekend, 1985"></a> <a href="thumbs/DickandJimmythumb.jpg"><img src="images/DickandJimmy.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Dick Tichian & Jimmy Normandi"></a> <a href="thumbs/GarrettAChunt.jpg"><img src="images/GarrettAChunt.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Charles Garrett signaling the start of the hunt"></a> <a href="thumbs/Fisherthumb.jpg"><img src="images/Fisher.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="The Fisher crew, Scott Warner, Me, Jim Lewellen & Fred Brust/Atlantic City 1985"></a> <a href="thumbs/GarrettSemingarthumb.jpg"><img src="images/GarrettSeminar.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Charles Garrett's Seminar, Atlantic City"></a> <a href="thumbs/FMDACHunt.jpg"><img src="images/FMDACHunt.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Jack Lowry, Alan Holcombe, Dick Stout & Gary Bischke, Atlantic City 1986"></a> 7<a href="thumbs/CharlesDickAlanthumb.jpg"><img src="images/CharlesDickAlan.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Charles Garrett, Dick Stout & Alan Holcombe, Atlantic city, 1985"></a> <a href="thumbs/Longleathumb.jpg"><img src="images/Longleat.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="First formal meeting of the World Council, Longleat Castle, England 1986"></a> <a href="thumbs/Unloadingthumb.jpg"><img src="images/Unloading.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="Cliff Steffens & Ed Laub unloading the coins for the first Atlantic City Hunt"></a> <a href="thumbs/weekendcrowdthumb.jpg"><img src="images/weekendcrowd.jpg" width="375" height="265" border="0" alt="A beautiful day in Atlantic City"></a> <a href="thumbs/FMDACoffic Any help would be appreciated. Similar TutorialsI'm sorry I can't provide a url because I'm not online yet, but here is my problem. I am trying to post a series of images with text descriptions of each image, but I can't seem to align the images so they are spaced evenly. (Basically like tabs in between the photos) I have tried the following things: <img src="party23.jpg" width="150" height="150" hspace=50>Blowing out candles <img src="party24.jpg" width="150" height="150">The cake<br> what I got was the pictures separated from the text - and the next picture's placement spaced from the end of the 1st picture's text, instead of from the first picture. I have also tried this: <img src="party23.jpg" width="150" height="150">Blowing out candles <center><img src="party24.jpg" width="150" height="150">The cake</center><br> what I got was the first picture & text was fine but the 2nd was centered on a new line instead of to the right of the first picture. Then I tried: <img src="party23.jpg" width="150" height="150">Blowing out candles <img src="party24.jpg" width="150" height="150">The cake<br> I might be able to get this to work...but I would have to count the spaces from the end of each text until the space where the photo needs to go so I know how many  's to insert.. and since all the text captions are different, that would be really time-consuming since there are alot of photos. Anyone able to help me find an easier way?? Any help greatly appreciated!! Hi there, for my website I would like to have small images, but when clicked on, enlarge in the current window, not another window, and does not link to a blank page with the picture. I don't know if HTML can do this or not, what would be my best option? I don't think wordpress supports javascript either? Thanks, ps2cho I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my website and I'm having some trouble. I'm looking to get the page to look like this: http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/5833/designwh9.png This is what I'm at right now: http://www.bclw.ca/content/index2.html The buttons (unlike in the image design) are not touching each other. Is there a way to do this only using HTML? Or am I going to have to purchase one of those Website Design programs? Thanks for any help you can give! Heyya, new here, and still fairly new to html. I just started using SSI includes (for obvious reasons), but I'm having an issue. When I preview the actual include file (menu.html), it looks just like it should. To see what it should look like, check out the front page, which just uses the HTML code rather than an insert. www.armoredchampions.com But when I use the include on a page, there is a gap between the two lines. I was originally using a <br> tag, but it had a gap, as if I was using <p>. I then eliminated the tag and made the table border just a little bit wider than the image in order to solve the issue, but the gap is still there. To see what it looks like you can check out this page: www.armoredchampions.com/staff.shtml Can anyone help me with this? I would really really appreciate it I want to try a couple of different approaches to putting medieval scroll-like images behind a menu and the body text of a site I am working on. I vaguely remember that there are separate commands to put images above, behind, and below a list. (Thinks something like scroll_top.gif, scroll_body.gif, scroll_bottom.gif). Can anyone help with that? Also, isn't there a way to do the same think with a div, eg: - image1 at the top - image 2 (repeating) as the body - image 3 at the bottom Thanks much as always! Joshua I am still new to html so still learning the ropes. Heres what i have, im trying to get the gallery image next to the home image, instead its right below it by X pixels.. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head><title> Profile</title></head> <body background="white"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" > <tr> <td valign="top" width="94" height="42" > <div style=" margin-right:600px; margin-top:150px "><img src="images/home.jpg" alt="" border="0"></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="94" height="42" > <div style=" margin-right:600px; margin-top:150px "><img src="images/gallery.jpg" alt="" border="0"></div> </td> </tr> </body> </html> Hi My site is at www.bigbadroo.com.au/dht/index.php It's looking ok in most browsers at the moment, but I have a couple of questions: 1) why is ie6 cutting off and repeating the background images? 2) why is ie6 putting big red crosses and borders on my three main button images? 3) how do I get the DIV box1 to extend all the way to the top of the screen in IE6 and IE7? Thanks for your time and help guys. Shaun ok i found a website i registerd got my domain and i uploaded my website my index.html and all the other files and i added all my images but wen i look at my site the images do not appear its just the blank site with text what do it? Hi, I currently have a bit of a problem, you can see for yourself at http://el-nath.net/forum Notice that all the images are around 3-4 pixels off their place that they're supposed to be at. Can someone please view the source code and give me a solution? Hi, im new to this so sorry for my lack of knowlage. Anyway, I have made a new directory on my website to house our gaming reviews I have copied exactly the same image directorys that work on our main directory in there and the images show up when previewing on my pc but not when i upload to the web, also appartnly no images or styles work in IE? www.gameoracle.co.uk help much appriciated Hi People, I am trying to take a basic background image. Split it into 3 chunks (top bar, middle blank 1px high, bottom bar) The idea was that I would set the middle image to be 1px and make it repeat so that when the user scrolls down the page, the background image scales accordingly. Also so that it would look ok via different browsers. I cut my image into three, no problem there. I then thought it would be a simple case of inserting my image and setting the CSS accordingly but I am getting different results in IE and FF (but of course). Example: HTML CODE HTML Code: <div id="image1"><img src="images/image1.jpg" alt="image description"></div> CSS CODE PHP Code: body { margin-top:20px; } #image1 { text-align: center; padding-top: 540px; padding-bottom: 0; } When I put this in, the image moves down to the bottom of the page in both IE and FF. Of course FF looks like it place the image in the right place but IE ends up putting lots of white space underneath the image. Any ideas ? Also, Is there a much simpler way of getting the image to scale according to the person scrolling? I am keep to learn a few different methods as it all helps. Thank you all I could not find any previous post for this question but someone has sure had the same problem. Everying looks fine on my website if you use: http://sdgroceryoutlet.com However, if you use: http://www.sdgroceryoutlet.com it scrambles the .jpg images. Why would the images not show when adding the www. prefix? Need some help, please. Hello everyone, I am currently working on a website that will have a simple gradient border (something like an "outer glow" from Photoshop) along the border of a nested table in the page. The final result will be a simple box with data centered in the middle of the page... However, my question is more related to programming in general. I have two options: 1. Have a linear gradient (1 px by 5 px) which is rotated in the 4 cardinal directions, and then tiled all around the page. Also there will be corners (5 px by 5 px) on, you guessed it, the corners. 2. Creating tables, for instance: //"invisible" is a font class with size="1px" <table class="invisible" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="710"> <tr height="100"> <td width="1" bgcolor="#000000"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#333333"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#666666"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#999999"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td width="700" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="body" --> SITE CONTENT HERE <!-- TemplateEndEditable --> </td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#999999"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#666666"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#333333"></td> <td width="1" bgcolor="#000000"></td> </tr> </table> which recreate the same action as tiling the gradient along the outside edges using the simple HTML colors. Which, from the standpoint of REDUCING actual work done by the server, would be the more effective (not my time, which clearly option 2 takes more of). I know very little about image compression, and how the whole process works for calling up images from a server. Any explanation is appreciated. Thanks again, BlitzKampf Hi, i have an issue with images in that my site was up and running ok, then a computer crash ended my old PC (not sure if relevent). So new PC, now when i go into my ftp and upload an image from my computer, it will be there and i do the normal in that i get properties of image in ftp and add this into my html. At this point all is ok, image shows on website in new window but as soon as i sign out of my ftp any new images will disapear and just leave the box outline and red x. Sorry this is probrably something simple, but it`s been doing my head in for months. Any ideas, help please. Greetings, I just recently started learning HTML and I am currently taking an HTML class in my college. One of my assignments was to create a web page with a certain amount of requirements but for some reason my teacher was not able to view the pictures when she tried to look at my assignment. Can someone please take a look at my source code and let me know what is wrong with it? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"> <head> <title>Internet Security</title> <style type="text/css"> h1 {text-align: center} h3 {text-align: center} body {background-color: #FFEBCD} </style> </head> <h1>Security and the Internet</h1> <body> <p>Internet Security has become vital in today's society. With the imposing attempts to breach other computers, it is important to have good anti-virus software. Viruses can come in many different types. First and foremost are your standard <em><strong>trojan viruses</strong></em>. These viruses are used to steal passwords so the hacker can attempt to gain pertinent user information. Another form of a virus is a <em><strong>boot virus</strong></em>. A boot virus infects floppy disk or master boot records on a hard drive. They replace the boot record program (which is responsible for loading the operating system in memory) copying it elsewhere on the hard drive or overwriting it. Boot viruses load into memory if the computer tries to read the disk while it is booting.<hr /></p> <h3>Other Types of Security Dilemmas</h3> <p>Other security problems that are slowly rising include wireless network hacking. In this particular method of breaching, the perpetraitor attempts to steal a wireless connection by using DOS (denial of service attacks), man in the middle, Identity theft or MAC spoofing and sometimes, caffe latte attacks. The most frightening part of this type of breach, or any for that matter is the hackers ability to gain personal information by using the aforementioned methods. It is very important to secure your computer with an anti-virus program as well as, a firewall to ensure you are not a victim. Below is a security checklist which will aid in keeping hackers out of your system.<hr /></p> <h4 style="color:#DC143C">Ways to Stay Internet Safe</h4> <!-- The following six lines represent how ordered list work and would appear on a web page --> <ol> <li>Install an anti-virus program and firewall and, <strong>keep the definitions up to date</strong></li> <li><strong>NEVER</strong> open any attachments unless you know the sender</li> <li>Do not close your anti-virus and firewall.
