I was reading: We've placed an image named 'cupcake.jpg' in a directory named 'img'. Add the image to the body of the document. I got kind of confused about the directory???? What does it mean when you put an image in a directory and give it a name? the code I wrote is: <img src= "cupcake.jpg" alt="img"> I am not sure about the alt part, and the system keeps telling me I wrote it wrong.

If your index.html page is located on the root of your site, then you would have a folder named 'img' (also known as a directory) where you would have your image assets located. The 'alt' attribute of an image tag is used for providing additional information for those that might not be able to see the image. Whether it is due to physical disabilities or your image might not have been loaded correctly. It is always good to use 'alt' attributes to remain ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant.
