align images side by side in html

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 appear side by side with caption in the middle? Thanks. 

<div class="image123">
    <img src="/images/tv.gif" height="200" width="200" style="float:left">
    <p>This is image 1</p>
    <img class="middle-img" src="/images/tv.gif"/ height="200" width="200">
    <p>This is image 2</p>
    <img src="/images/tv.gif"/ height="200" width="200">
    <p>This is image 3</p>
</div>

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>

Try this.

CSS

.imageContainer {
    float: left;
}

p {
    text-align: center;
}

HTML

<div class="image123">
    <div class="imageContainer">
        <img src="/images/tv.gif" height="200" width="200" />
        <p>This is image 1</p>
    </div>
    <div class="imageContainer">
        <img class="middle-img" src="/images/tv.gif"/ height="200" width="200" />
        <p>This is image 2</p>
    </div>
    <div class="imageContainer">    
        <img src="/images/tv.gif"/ height="200" width="200"/>
        <p>This is image 3</p>
    </div>
</div>

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;
}

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>

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)

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:

  • They can be cached by browsers for performance
  • Generally a lot easier to maintain for a development perspective
