Code challenge workspace not functioning correctly

When I check my work it says "bummer" my image tag is missing but I thought I put it in

index.html

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>

  <body>

Hi Viki,

Looks like you went a step ahead. Easy there! :) The instructions required you to create an unordered list but without filling the list items. Something like this:

<section> <ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </section>

thanks but I was past that step. I'm using firefox and it should be in safe mode because I've been having problems with the challenge workspace. I found I have to click on the top lines to get the cursor & arrow down. I'm now trying to add the image tags but after typing them in -- failed, I tried dragging from img file -- failed, so I copied my work from my practice workspace -- failed.

Strange. The link brought me to the previous challenge. I've been using Google Chrome and I've had no issues with it so far. Maybe you could switch browsers or update your Firefox.

As for the code challenge, I'm not entirely sure which one you are on. Do you have the link?

Thanks for the help xyraine! I have to stop working on this for few - several hours now. I will work on your suggestions & get back to this later tonight. I really appreciate your input :-)

My pleasure. I'm still learning as well. I hope I can be more helpful in the future. Things may get frustrating at times so taking a break is very helpful once in awhile! :) Don't give up!
