No, it is the HTML spec that you need to read for that one I think. Caption is an element, so whatever you put in there will be displayed, unless you set it not to display. As an element I think (I haven't checked this) that you can put links to non-tabular versions, or to graphic equivalents, or whatever, in it. Summary is an attribute - it doesn't display except if a browser understands it, and you can only ever have plain text in it.

Anyway, what is the difference? thanks, rob --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
