HTML How to Make a Website Creating HTML Content Organize with Unordered Lists

Stage 3 HTML Content

I'm having trouble understanding what this questions is asking. I have inserted images 1-6, and I don't know what I have done wrong...

Hello Elizabeth

If I am correct about the code challenge you are completing. The below code will pass the test, you didn't need to make the images a link you just needed to display them like so.

 <section>
  <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>
</section>

Hello,

You must add <div> between </header> and <section> Like this:

</header>

<div id="wrapper"> <section> <ul id="gallery"> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> <p>Playing with blending modes in Photoshop.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> <p>Trying to create an 80's style of glows.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-09.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-09.jpg" alt=""> <p>Drips created using Photoshop brushes.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-12.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-12.jpg" alt=""> <p>Creating shapes using repetition.</p> </a> </li> </ul> </section>

Elizabeth,

Your code mostly looks ok. The only error I see is that you didn't close your unordered list Sometimes thinking about html tags like folders can help. when you open a tag or a folder you need to close it. the only exception is <br> which can also be written as <br /> because it closes itself, or links to content like <img>.

To ensure that you are understanding the coding, the system runs specific tests to see if what you wrote is accurate. It isn't expecting to get a <a href=""> tag, it is looking for an <img> following the <li> so when it looks at your code it and doesn't see that, it thinks that you made a mistake.

Try removing the paragraph and the links from your code and it should pass.

For the exercises its best to do exactly what they say since its a computer grading you and not a human.
