Can't seem to get the image to appear on the page

When I open this in the browser, the image doesn't seem to appear.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title> Laknath |Designer</title> </head> <bodY> <header> <a href="index.html"> <h1>Laknath Gunathilake</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"alt=""> </li> </ul> </section> <footer> <p>Ā© 2016 Laknath Gunathilake</p> </footer> </bodY> </html>

I feel like your missing parts.

For starters I don't see a <body> opening tag. Just a closing one. Same goes with the closing <tag> for the head. Also the alt comment needs to be spaced from the rest. For example. <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="Number1"> vs yours which is not seperated.

Also if the images are not saved in the locations they are meant to be then it will also not work.

Did you upload them to the workspace? Are the in the image folder? These would also be things to look at to solve your problem.

Click file > then click save all or use Ctrl+Alt+S

I would: 1) double-check to make sure the file numbers-01.jpg is really there in the img folder. 2) try simply adding a space between src and alt tags, so that src="img/numbers-01.jpg" is not touching alt="", wouldn't solve the problem. 3) fix the closing body tag from </bodY> to </body> 4) add a closing </html> tag

Let us know! Best of luck!
