createCaption method

HTMLTableCaptionElement createCaption()

The HTMLTableElement.createCaption() method returns the caption element associated with a given table. If no <caption> element exists on the table, this method creates it, and then returns it.

Note: If no caption exists, createCaption() inserts a new caption directly into the table. The caption does not need to be added separately as would be the case if Document.createElement had been used to create the new <caption> element.

Implementation

external HTMLTableCaptionElement createCaption();
