Tee, Good question - the HTML5 working draft does not specifically say, but the following seems to indicate that there should be only one figcaption element per figure:
The figcaption element > Contexts in which this element can be used: As the first or last child of > a figure<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-figure-element> > element. HTML5 doctor backs this up with a little more detail: http://html5doctor.com/the-figure-figcaption-elements/ For a slideshow, maybe you could try using one figure with multiple images, and modify the content of the single figcaption dynamically for each slide. - Jon On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 7:47 PM, tee <weblis...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can the figure element use for slideshow, e.g. > > <div class="slider"> > <figure> > <img src="image" /> > <figcaption> description,,,</figcaption> > > </figure> > > <figure> > <img src="image" /> > <figcaption> description,,,</figcaption> > > </figure> > > <figure> > <img src="image" /> > <figcaption> description,,,</figcaption> > > </figure> > > </div> > > Or maybe the question should be , can a single figure contains many > figcaption?
