I want 3 images side by side with caption, at the moment I have 3 images going from top to bottom, with the caption on the left, not on the centre. How do I make the images
You mean something like this?
<div class="image123">
<div class="imgContainer">
<img src="/images/tv.gif" height="200" width="200"/>
<p>This is image 1</p>
</div>
<div class="imgContainer">
<img class="middle-img" src="/images/tv.gif"/ height="200" width="200"/>
<p>This is image 2</p>
</div>
<div class="imgContainer">
<img src="/images/tv.gif"/ height="200" width="200"/>
<p>This is image 3</p>
</div>
</div>
with the imgContainer style as
.imgContainer{
float:left;
}
Also see this jsfiddle.
I suggest to use a container for each img
p
like this:
<div class="image123">
<div style="float:left;margin-right:5px;">
<img src="/images/tv.gif" height="200" width="200" />
<p style="text-align:center;">This is image 1</p>
</div>
<div style="float:left;margin-right:5px;">
<img class="middle-img" src="/images/tv.gif/" height="200" width="200" />
<p style="text-align:center;">This is image 2</p>
</div>
<div style="float:left;margin-right:5px;">
<img src="/images/tv.gif/" height="200" width="200" />
<p style="text-align:center;">This is image 3</p>
</div>
</div>
Then apply float:left
to each container. I add and 5px
margin right
so there is a space between each image. Also alway close your elements. Maybe in html img
tag is not important to close but in XHTML is.

Also a friendly advice. Try to avoid inline styles as much as possible. Take a look here:
html
<div class="image123">
<div>
<img src="/images/tv.gif" />
<p>This is image 1</p>
</div>
<div>
<img class="middle-img" src="/images/tv.gif/" />
<p>This is image 2</p>
</div>
<div>
<img src="/images/tv.gif/" />
<p>This is image 3</p>
</div>
</div>
css
div{
float:left;
margin-right:5px;
}
div > img{
height:200px;
width:200px;
}
p{
text-align:center;
}
It's generally recommended that you use linked style sheets because:

fiddle
Try using this format
<figure>
<img src="img" alt="The Pulpit Rock" width="304" height="228">
<figcaption>Fig1. - A view of the pulpit rock in Norway.</figcaption>
</figure>
This will give you a real caption (just add the 2nd and 3rd imgs using Float:left
like others suggested)
Not really sure what you meant by "the caption in the middle", but here's one solution to get your images appear side by side, using the excellent display:inline-block
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title></title>
<style>
div.container {
display:inline-block;
}
p {
text-align:center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" height="200" width="200" />
<p>This is image 1</p>
</div>
<div class="container">
<img class="middle-img" src="http://placehold.it/350x150"/ height="200" width="200" />
<p>This is image 2</p>
</div>
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" height="200" width="200" />
<p>This is image 3</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In your CSS:
.image123{
float:left;
}
Here is how I would do it, (however I would use an external style sheet for this project and all others. just makes things easier to work with. Also this example is with html5.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<style>
.container {
display:inline-block;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<figure>
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" height="200" width="200">
<figcaption>This is image 1</figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
<img class="middle-img" src="http://placehold.it/350x150"/ height="200" width="200">
<figcaption>This is image 2</figcaption>
</figure>
<figure>
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" height="200" width="200">
<figcaption>This is image 3</figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
</body>
</html>
