Workspace is not allowing me to drag and drop the image files for this project. Please advise

I am trying to download the project files for this track but do not see where to do it. I was able to download and unzip the images but when I drag them as shown in Nick's video, there is no darker gray area to drop them in. It is not allowing me to transfer the images to the workspace. Please advise

Seth Goldberger Cool!

As for your issue now, I would have said your images weren't showing due to improper call ups when referencing images. <img src="img/button-1.jpg"> or something and forgetting to call from the img folder. But with no colors showing either, it might be basic syntax. Is there anyway you can post your line for line code of html and css so I can take a look as to what might not be working>

Why do you have a div tag in between the closing header and the opening section ?

Also, you're linking to numbers-01 in your anchor for anchors-02 (not an error, just a flow bug)

What's your OS? Once you unzipped, did you make sure you were moving the unzipped files and not going back to the zipped files even after you had extracted them all? I do that sometimes when I'm not thinking.

Thanks Harris I appreciate it....the files were not unzipped that's why I couldn't drag them. Another question for you, I've been following this Beginner Lesson from Nick Pettit to the T and my workspace matches his except for using my name instead essentially. For whatever reason, when I launch the workspace and hit preview workspace, it looks nothing compared to what Nick launches. The pictures and colors aren't there. I thought it was possibly because I was using Firefox but I just tried it in Chrome and still shows up the same way. Please let me know why this might happen and thank you.

Hi Harris,

Thank you for your help. You were correct on the anchor problem but that was not why it was not working. The div was just the next step of my course styling a wrapper. I realized when I was dragging the img files into the img folder that I accidentally dragged my index.html file in there as well. Now I'm back on track thanks a million.

Awesome - glad you're back on track!

Never hesitate to ask a question if you are stuck or looking for some more clarification on the tutorials.

Hi Seth!

Have you tried dropping them onto the file tree anyway? It might potentially let you drop them on without the darker area showing.

Also, try holding them over the file tree and waiting to see if this darker area appears.

I hope that one of these solutions works for you!

-Luke

I figured it out I had not yet extracted the files. That was the problem. Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks Luke I did try that before and it didn't do anything. It shows that it's being dragged but there is that red circle with and slash through it. I use a pc not a Mac but I wouldn't expect that to be the reason. Thanks for your help anyways
