According to 
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Labels_and_Cross-referencing:

"When a label is declared within a float environment, the \ref{...} will 
return the respective fig/table number, but it must occur after the 
caption. When declared outside, it will give the section number. To be 
completely safe, the label for any picture or table can go within the 
\caption{} command, "

so I don't think this is JSS specific.
