# Table createCaption() Method

Table Object

## Definition and Usage

The createCaption() method creates an empty caption element and adds it to the table.

Note: If a caption element already exists on the table, the createCaption() method returns the existing one, and does not create a new one.

Tip: To remove the caption element from a table, use the deleteCaption() method.

## Syntax

tableObject.createCaption()

## Browser Support

The createCaption() method is supported in all major browsers.

## Example

Create a caption element for the table:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
var x=document.getElementById("myTable").createCaption();
x.innerHTML="<b>My table caption</b>";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="myTable" border="1">
<tr>
<td>cell 1</td>
<td>cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>cell 3</td>
<td>cell 4</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Create caption</button>
</body>
</html>
