Have installed Image Capture, run update.php, enabled the module, enabled required node types. Using FCKeditor advanced image options, I can set the image class to "caption".

The image does appear with a caption, but regardless of the value of the 'alt' attribute it is always the single word "undefined". Here's the image tag as inserted by FCKeditor:

<img width="150" height="200" align="right" src="/mcs/sites/default/files/image/IMG_0938.JPG" alt="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables." class="caption" />

This has the correct class but there is no wrapper. However, something somewhere must be throwing up the "undefined" message.

On the Page node where I entered the text and picture, inspection of the source code reveals no image_caption.js in the header, even though Image Caption is configured to work with Page.

This is potentially a really useful module, so I would very much like to get it working.

I am running Drupal on my local machine, using xampp. I don't know what version of JQuery I have. In fact I know nothing at all about JQuery - perhaps this is where the problem lies!

Many thanks for your efforts.

That'll be because the caption is made from the title attribute, not the alt attribute. e.g:

<img width="150" height="200" align="right" src="/mcs/sites/default/files/image/IMG_0938.JPG" alt="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables."  title="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables." class="caption" />

Thanks for your prompt reply. Stupid of me not to have RTFM.

The good news is that FCKeditor will insert the title attribute, giving the image tag

<img width="150" hspace="5" height="200" align="right" alt="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables." title="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables." src="/mcs/sites/default/files/image/IMG_0938.JPG" />

The bad news is that I still have no caption.

Any further help would be much appreciated.

[EDIT 27/03/08]

Doh! I'm not having a good week. Of course, the tag above is faulty - no class="caption". My only excuse is that FCKeditor makes all this quite tedious to do. However, I now have the tag

<img width="150" height="200" align="right" class="caption" src="/mcs/sites/default/files/image/IMG_0938.JPG" title="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables." alt="Magpie at Ham Polo Stables." />

and a lovely caption! Thank you so much. I'm now going to investigate styling the caption as per your instructions and promise to be a bit more careful this time.

Keep up the good work.
