How to write a caption under an image?

Solution 1:

Figure and Figcaption tags:

<figure>
    <img src='image.jpg' alt='missing' />
    <figcaption>Caption goes here</figcaption>
</figure>

Gotta love HTML5.

See sample

#container {
    text-align: center;
}
a, figure {
    display: inline-block;
}
figcaption {
    margin: 10px 0 0 0;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-family: Arial;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #bb3333;
}
figure {
    padding: 5px;
}
img:hover {
    transform: scale(1.1);
    -ms-transform: scale(1.1);
    -webkit-transform: scale(1.1);
    -moz-transform: scale(1.1);
    -o-transform: scale(1.1);
}
img {
    transition: transform 0.2s;
    -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.2s;
    -moz-transition: -moz-transform 0.2s;
    -o-transition: -o-transform 0.2s;
}

<div id="container">
    <a href="#">
        <figure>
            <img src="http://lorempixel.com/100/100/nature/1/" width="100px" height="100px" />
            <figcaption>First image</figcaption>
        </figure>
    </a>
    <a href="#">
        <figure>
             <img src="http://lorempixel.com/100/100/nature/2/" width="100px" height="100px" />
            <figcaption>Second image</figcaption>
        </figure>
    </a>
</div>

Solution 2:

CSS

#images{
    text-align:center;
    margin:50px auto; 
}
#images a{
    margin:0px 20px;
    display:inline-block;
    text-decoration:none;
    color:black;
 }

HTML

<div id="images">
    <a href="http://xyz.com/hello">
        <img src="hello.png" width="100px" height="100px">
        <div class="caption">Caption 1</div>
    </a>
    <a href="http://xyz.com/hi">
        <img src="hi.png" width="100px" height="100px"> 
        <div class="caption">Caption 2</div>
    </a>
</div>​

​A fiddle is here.

Solution 3:

Put the image — let's say it's width is 140px — inside of a link:

<a><img src='image link' style='width: 140px'></a>

Next, put the caption in a and give it a width less than your image, while centering it:

<a>
  <img src='image link' style='width: 140px'>
  <div style='width: 130px; text-align: center;'>I just love to visit this most beautiful place in all the world.</div>
</a>

Next, in the link tag, style the link so that it no longer looks like a link. You can give it any color you want, but just remove any text decoration your links may carry.

<a style='text-decoration: none; color: orange;'>
  <img src='image link' style='width: 140px'>
  <div style='width: 130px; text-align: center;'>I just love to visit this most beautiful place in all the world.</div>
</a>

I wrapped the image with it's caption in a link so that no text could push the caption out of the way: The caption is tied to the picture by the link. Here's an example: http://www.alphaeducational.com/p/okay.html

Solution 4:

<div style="margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; overflow: hidden;">
  <div style="float: left;">
    <a href="http://xyz.com/hello"><img src="hello.png" width="100px" height="100px"></a>
    caption 1
  </div>
 <div style="float: left;">
   <a href="http://xyz.com/hi"><img src="hi.png" width="100px" height="100px"></a>
   caption 2                      
 </div>
</div>

Solution 5:

For responsive images. You can add the picture and source tags within the figure tag.

<figure>
  <picture>
    <source media="(min-width: 750px)" srcset="images/image_2x.jpg"/>
    <source media="(min-width: 500px)" srcset="images/image.jpg" />
    <img src="images.jpg" alt="An image">
  </picture>
  <figcaption>Caption goes here</figcaption>
</figure>
