8,513 PointsThe alt attribute must contain something valid for the challenge to pass.
<img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="fb"/>
<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="tw"/>

52,175 PointsI believe you have to actually put some sort of text in the alt attribute for it to pass the tests.

13,772 PointsI think you are trying to run code in the challenge section. It would work in work space and other editors. However, its always good idea to add alt attribute with picture description.

1,699 PointsYou need to put a description or name inside the quotes after the alt. This is the text alternative to the image. For example alt="Twitter logo" You will also want to add these alt texts for the Facebook logo and the three 'numbers' images above them.
Here is a link to more info about alt text : http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H37.html
Hope that helps!
