Structure of Image Gallery Question

After the Structure of Image Gallery Video, I typed the exact code in the video into my workspace and the image still doesn't show up when I view the page. I have my folder titled, "img" too. What did I do wrong?

I typed img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="" within the <>.

Hi Kunal Patel,

You are able to paste code here: Please refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet below the answer textbox when posting an answer.

img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""

Please make sure that when you have downloaded the image files, they come in a zip file. You need to extract these files into your img folder and ensure they are named exactly 'numbers-01.jpg'. Not things like 'number-01.jpg' or even 'numbers-01.jpeg'

Hope this helps

Hey Kunal Patel,

So on your code, you do not need to have the <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> linking to the image. Href is used to link to a url rather than an image.

There is nothing that I can see wrong with your image source. Like I mentioned in an above answer, perhaps check to ensure you have the image located within the img folder and correctly named. Watch out for image files ending .jpeg, they should be .jpg.
