Your code should read img src="filename.jpg" alt="". You have the src misspelled.

You misspelled something there. It's not scr as you typed, it src which comes from source. So, just replace that and your code might work(I actually found that if you are not removing spaces between the attribute and the equal sign is probably that the evaluation will fail).

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

I wrote the next code and it works...

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