2,726 PointsThe image from this video is not showing up when I go to preview it.
This is what I have written down for the code following along with the video. I've saved it, and when I go to preview the page, the image shows up as a blue box with a question mark inside. Not sure where I'm going wrong. Thanks!

As for the image not showing up, the file is in the right directory with the right name etc? Check the obvious first.

2,726 PointsThanks for the tips guys. It was a very obvious mistake on my part, a the name of the directory did not match. Sorry, I'm very new at this and it's a bit overwhelming. Thanks again!

8,521 PointsWell, well! You learn something new everyday! Did not know that! Thank you :) Looks like img and couple of other elements are void elements and are not supposed to have closing tags.
