3,841 PointsThe links are showing up on the page but not working. Also the image is not showing on page. I just started treehouse yesterday and am trying to find my way around. The material is from one of the videos by Nick.

23,118 PointsIt's totally cool! let figure out what's going on. first did you download the img folder from the teachers notes? and if so are they placed in the img folder?
Kim Gee
3,841 PointsYes I downloaded images and uploaded them to the site. I placed each image into an img folder.
Jacob Mishkin
23,118 Pointsthe only thing I can think of is for you to tighten up the img tag like so:
HTML
<a href="img/number-12.jpg">
<img src="img/numbers-12.jpg" alt="">
<p>Creating shapes and stuff</p>
</a>
your img tag closers are very far away from the alt tag.

3,841 Pointsnow my CSS is not working and the code is correct also. I have the free couple weeks at treehouse. Because it is free are some of the stuff not turned on for me? If so I want to jump past the free weeks. does anyone know?
Kim Gee
3,841 Pointsthank you Jacob I will try to tighten up my code.
Jacob Mishkin
23,118 Pointsare you using workspaces? and yes, from what I know all the base learning is available during the free trial.
Jacob Mishkin
23,118 Pointsif it doesn't work let us know and we will try and help. if anything try working though the series and go back to this issue later. Sometimes with a break you can spot the problem a lot easier.
Kim Gee
3,841 PointsYes I am using workspaces. I checked it in IE and Chrome. It's not working in either.
Jacob Mishkin
23,118 Pointsyeah I can't find the problem. Sorry. I'll try and look at it later today and get back to you. from the HTML it looks fine to me, but there may be a minor error in the syntax I'm missing.

10,315 PointsWhere are you trying to link to? Right now it looks like you want to click on the image and it takes you to the image. Just to verify your folder structure you have an index.html file in a directory with a folder named "img" with the image in that img folder. correct?
Kim Gee
3,841 PointsI resolved the issue. IE doesn't like my code but Chrome does! It's all working in chrome.

23,118 PointsAre the images not showing or are the links not working? and is this for a code challenge or just on your own?
