Code Challenge issue - How to Make a Website course

Problems with a code challenge

Very frustrating

The code challenge task:

Challenge Task 2 of 2 Inside the three new list items, add the following images: "numbers-01.jpg", "numbers-02.jpg", and "numbers-06.jpg". Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or links. Just the images! Remember, you can preview your work by clicking the Preview button.

My code:

<section>
  <ul>
    <li>
     <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
      <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
      <p></p>
      </a>
   </li>
  <li>     
    <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
    <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
    <p></p>
     </a>
  </li>
  <li>
    <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
    <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
    <p></p>
     </a>
  </ul>
</section>

The response:

Bummer! Make sure you include an image tag that displays "numbers-01.jpg".

Not sure what to do. I re-checked my code on workspaces, and this is how its appearing, and everything is fine there.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
         <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

          </a>
       </li>
      <li>     
        <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
        <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        <p></p>
         </a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
        <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        <p></p>
         </a>
      </ul>

Hey Justine,

You don't need the a or p elements inside the list items, only the img element!

Hi Jesus

Magic, just by doing <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg"> in the first list item actually worked :)

Thank you ever so much for your help and quick reply :)

All the best

Cheers

Justine
