Hi Micki,

I understand the need for align=top for the older browsers, but I'm a 
little reluctant to do (subjectively-) TOO much with depreciated HTML4 
attributes in the release code of PhpWiki.

Of course you're absolutely welcome to modify your own wikis according 
to your situation and needs. :)

It should be pretty easy to tweak, just change this line:

             $table->pushContent(HTML::caption(array('align'=>'top'), 
$caption));

As far as I understand, align=left would insert the caption in 
front(left) of the WHOLE table, probably not what you want. Also, the 
alignment of caption text WITHIN the cell is not clearly defined by the 
HTML standard, and really is up to the individual browser how it is 
displayed. You can try something like this:

             $table->pushContent(HTML::caption(array('align' => 'top',
                                                     'style' => 
'text-align:left;'),
                                               $caption));

Or, add this to the CSS stylesheet: (but it will affect ALL tables in 
PhpWiki, even page lists returned from searches, etc.)

table caption { text-align: left; }
