jCaption is a JQuery Plugin designed to make adding captions to a page very simple. It uses an attribute of the image element to build the markup for a caption. The plugin allows for both arbitrary styling and mark-up.

Features include:

• Animated captions (the duration of the animation can be specified)
• Follows JQuery conventions
• Arbitrary markup (other markup, besides the tag that is required, is arbitrary)
• Allows placement from text-editors

Web-Editors like tinyMCE or FCKditor allow users to align images to the left or right of text. Depending on the version, this is accomplished using the “align” attribute or “style” attribute. This plugin accomodates both and makes sure that the caption is correctly placed as well.

ImageCaption is a very customizable and painless to style MooTools 1.2+ plugin for easily adding figure captions to image elements on a web page. It follows standard MooTools coding style and documentation.
