HTMLTableElement: caption property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The caption property of the HTMLTableElement interface represents the first <caption> element child of the given <table>, or null if no such element exists.
Value
An HTMLTableCaptionElement or null.
This property can be assigned, which causes the existing first <caption> element child, if any, to be removed, and the given value, if it is not null, to be inserted as the first child. Therefore, setting null has the same effect as calling deleteCaption(). If the assigned value is not an HTMLTableCaptionElement or null, a TypeError is thrown.
Examples
js
if (table.caption) {
// Do something with the caption
}
