IMG

My image seems to be in the list item correctly but the image isn't showing up.

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

Did you download the Project Files onto your computer and upload them into your Workspace?

I did upload them to the workspace. Still not sure why it's not working. Here is what I'm trying to figure out.

"Inside the three new list items, add the following images from inside the img folder: "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!"

You are talking about an IMG while using an anchor. You dont want to add captions or links,

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

Is that the problem ?

The href attribute specifies the URL of a page link. You're just trying to add an image so you need the <img> tag. Remember, The <img> tag defines an image in an HTML page.

Hi Robert,

The code you have pasted above is for an anchor. Whereas the Code Challenge asks you to add images (without any links) to the 3 list items you coded in a step earlier. You achieve this by using the img tag, along with the src and alt attributes as specified.

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

Hint: Remember that the img tag is self-closing.

Hope this helps.
