Very basic: Inside the three new list items, add the following images from inside the img folder: "numbers-01.jpg"

I have the following code

<ul>

  <li>
    <a img src= "img/numbers-01.jpg" alt= "" >
    </a> 
  </li>


  <li>
      <a img src= "img/numbers-02.jpg" alt= "" >
    </a> 
  </li>

  <li>
     <a img src= "img/numbers-06.jpg" alt= "" >
    </a> 
  </li>

  </ul>

I just can't seem to get it to work. What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks beforehand.

You are mixing two tags, a and img.

Try

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

and do the same to the rest.

You write a wrong codes on anchor and image tags.

It should be like this:

<ul>
  <li>
    <a href="#"> 
      <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
    </a> 
  </li>
</ul>

Awesome, thanks guys. Could you tell why you dont use the anchor?

You mostly use anchors to create links like this

<a href="www.google.com">google</a>

Since you just want to display an image, there's no need for an anchor.
