One of the attributes of the CAPTION tag defines how the caption is to be
aligned to the table. So, you can define whether you want the caption above
or below the table. This is great because sometimes the ND event order is
such that you don't have all of the data that you need to display the
buttons until after a repeated has been populated. So, when the <CAPTION>
appears at the end of the table, the buttons defined inside the HTML for the
CAPTION can still be displayed above the table.
I don't have any opinion one way or the other about whether buttons should
be displayed inside or outside tables. Unless you can rely on style sheets,
it's kind of hard to get them exactly where you want them any other way.
