Help! I cannot find what I am doing wrong. My work matches the lesson but I'm getting an error message.

Error message: Make sure you include an image tag that displays “img/numbers-01.jpg”. Here's my coding: <ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> </a> </li> </ul>

If I remember this quiz right it only asks for the img tag, not the a tag. Try deleting the a tags to see if it passes.

It worked! Thank you! Not sure why, if it showed me a more more advanced step in the tutorial demo, the quiz wouldn't include that, too. But I'm kind of flying blind here. It's very confusing but I'm hanging on so far. LOL. Thanks again for your help.

For the challenges it is important to follow the directions exactly. A computer is looking for certain things and if it sees something else it is wrong. There is a quiz later that JavaScript is correct and Javascript is wrong because of the case.
