HTML <figcaption> style Attribute

HTML <fieldset>

HTML <figure>

A style attribute on a <figcaption> tag assigns a unique style to the element.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the figcaption element.

Example

#

A style attribute on a <figcaption> element.

<figure>
  <img src="/img/html/sangiorgio.jpg">
  <figcaption style="color: teal; font-style: italic;">
    A Beautiful Oil Painting
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Using style

#

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <figcaption> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <figcaption> element only.

Syntax

#

<figcaption style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

Value	Description
CSS-styles	One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;).

    A Beautiful Oil Painting
  </figcaption>
</figure>

<br/>
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myfigcaption");

    if (element.style.color === "teal") {
       element.style.color = "brown";
    } else {
       element.style.color = "teal";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a text color to the <figcaption> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which toggles the text color to another color.
