Explain

please explain the errors made in the code challenge

this is my text:

<!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 src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> <p></p> </a> </li> <li> <a href=""> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> <p></p> </a> </li> <li> <a href=""> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> <p></p> </a> </li> </ul> </section> <footer> <p>Ā© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p> </footer> </body> </html>

and this is the "error"

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

What are the error messages in the code challenge saying?

If you could paste in your code and the error messages that would be helpful :-)

The challenge asks for no alt attribute, and the p tags and the a tags are not necessary.

Your code should look like this:

<!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>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
