Hey Chana,

For the challenge, leave out the hrefs; stay just with the img tags.

Anchor element does not have an "alt" attribute. If that still doesn't fix your code, remove the anchor tags, you don't need it for this task.

Here's my answer: <ul> <li><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg"></li> <li><img src="img/numbers-02.jpg"></li> <li><img src="img/numbers-06.jpg"></li> </ul>
