I too want to reiterate Hitch's warnings. If this is for personal usage, feel free to use all the code you want. But please tell me this is not for a book for sale.
This discussion of "captions with images" comes up QUITE often, here are a few topics which may also have some answers:

While looking through a few of these old threads, I stumbled upon this link:
http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/20...r-yes-you.html
Would this code work on Kindles? (and does it work in ADE or iBooks still?)
(I see Hitch in a lot of these old topics saying the same exact stuff).
To RbnJrg:
Where do you come up with this stuff?
Happen to have a collection of ebooks sitting around showing off all your coding madness?
To Hitch:
I swear I saw you post this exact "K7 fallback code" comment about 10 times in the past few days (unless I am becoming delusional due to it being past my bed time).
I was tempted to find them all and copy/paste "What K7 fallback code would people in your company use in this situation?"

Not scaling or following user preferences? I refuse!!!
As to attaching text at the bottom of an image? (JPG -> JPG... the lossy horror)
Do you guys try to implement at least SOME CSS code like a "page-break: avoid"? (not talking Kindle specific here)

Indeed. Same how I feel.
