caption appears at first, then after image loads, it moves down?

Hey guys, just a quick question.

I followed along with this lesson fine, but when i got to testing the final product, i noticed that when i click the image, the caption (ie the alt attribute) loads first at the top of the page, and then once the image loads it moves under the image.

Am i doing something wrong?

That sounds normal for when no size has been established for the image.

But if you know the image size in advance, you can establish it with either CSS or attributes of the img tag. Then the other elements affected by it will render at their final positions initially.
