Code Challenge issue - How to Make a Website course

Problems with a code challenge

Very frustrating

The code challenge task:

Challenge Task 2 of 2 Inside the three new list items, add the following images: "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! Remember, you can preview your work by clicking the Preview button.

My code:

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

The response:

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

Not sure what to do. I re-checked my code on workspaces, and this is how its appearing, and everything is fine there.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>

Hey Justine,

You don't need the a or p elements inside the list items, only the img element!

Hi Jesus

Magic, just by doing <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg"> in the first list item actually worked :)

Thank you ever so much for your help and quick reply :)

All the best

Cheers

Justine
