Browser won't display images. Code seems fine, only seeing a small error box in place of image. Any ideas?

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Alex Pascoe | Photographer</title> </head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html"> <h1>Alex Pascoe</h1> <h2>Photographer</h2> </a> </header> <section> <ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> <p>A picture</p> </a> </li> </ul> </section> <footer>Ā© 2016 Alex Pascoe</footer> </body> </html>

If you have not already, you need to create an "img" folder in workspaces and then move all the image files into the "img" folder. If your images are not in the "img" folder then your html will not find those pictures because they haven't been placed there yet.

Not sure but try putting the a tag around the image tag such as this:

<a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></a>

Also to make sure that the src path is not wrong you can try using ../

<a href="../img/numbers-01.jpg"><img src="../img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></a>

Images are already in an image folder on the same level as the index.html.

Is the file path wrong? It looks good.

Your file path appears to be correct but I can't be sure without a screen shot of your directories.

Also make sure your spelling AND capitalization match the file name character for characte (file names are case sensitive).

If that doesn't help then put ../ in front of img Anil suggested.

Solved,

Images folder had a capitalized 'i', file path didn't.

Little things. Thank you for your help everyone. I'm sure I'll need a lot more.

I appreciate it,
