List command underlined in red after I added images.

I added the images to my 3 lists and for some reason the closed list command is underlined in read afterwards.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>

Hey htere!

Doublecheck your html code:

 <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src ="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
         </a> <!-- here the closing anchor was missing !>
         </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
         </a> <!-- and here !>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg">
         </a> <!-- and here !>
        </li>
      </ul>

You forgot to set the closing anchor tokens within each of your list items.

Thank you so much!

I changed that, but now it keeps saying I need to include an image tag that displays the photo. But I know I am doing the same exact thing from the tutorial video.

Did you also add the alt="" attribute to the last image? It is missing as well. And there is a space between src and the = sign in the html of the first image. You need to delete the space.

I will read again through your html...

Yes I did add that.

The red lines have went away. I previewed my code and the images show perfectly fine. But when I check my work, it is still giving me the same error of including an image tag that displays the photo.

Is that a code challenge you are trying to complete? What is the exact task word by word that you need to fulfill?

Yes ma'am. It is the code challenge for Organize with Unordered Lists.

The task is: Inside the three new list items, add the following images from inside the img folder: "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!

Ok now look at your html again :)

The task asks you to merely add the images. NO LINKS! ;)

You added links as well.

Try and delete the anchor tokens that are wrapped around each img. This should complete your challenge.

<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>
