Hi there,
Can we make the caption text smaller when it sits against an image?

I went into the source code and added the following html, but this did not make a difference.

<figcaption><span style="font-size: 6px;"></span><p> Source: &nbsp; www.animatedimages.org/img-animated-eye-image-0019-40065.htm
</figcaption>

Is my html code correct?

Look forward to hearing back about this. Anne

hi Anne

You need to have the span tags surrounding the text you want to change (you are closing the tag straight away)

Try this:
<figcaption><p><span style="font-size: 6px;"> Source: &nbsp; www.animatedimages.org/img-animated-eye-image-0019-40065.htm


</figcaption>

or even better you could set font-size to be something along the lines of 0.5em which would make it 50% smaller than the default text for the page - then it will be more responsive

Oops, my tags are in wrong order too... this one's right!

<figcaption><p><span style="font-size: 6px;"> Source: &nbsp; www.animatedimages.org/img-animated-eye-image-0019-40065.htm
