[thelist] CSS Image Captions

[Sam Richardson]

Thanks Jeff,

Inline half fixes, I think it is the length of the caption that is causing
problems. It still extends right over the width of the box element above it,
I need it to wrap at the end of the image.

If I was constructing it with tables I could create it like this

Outer table, 1% width
Inner table, no width
Image that pushes inner table out
<br>
Caption underneath image that would expand to fit the inner table (forced
open by the size of the image).

I know that it's a really unelegent way of construction but I don't know if
their is a similar way of building it via CSS.
