Can't figure out whats wrong here - Build a Simple Website

I just started the Build a Simple Website course.

For the quiz it says: Assuming an 'img' directory with an image 'cupcake.jpg', add the image to the body of the document.

This is my code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title>
</head>
<body>
    <img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">
    <ul class="nav">
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Cupcakes & Prices</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Locations</a></li>
        <li class="last"><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
    </ul>
  <img src="img/cupcake.jpg">
</body>
</html>

The image of the cupcake shows up, yet it still says:

Bummer! Double-check your image path.

There is no way to skip to the next exercise, despite the glitch.

Try running the path -

<body> <img src="img/cupcake.jpg" </body> Make sure your brackets are closed.

To declare your image path begin with: src="....

Hope this jogs your memory :P

I'm on the "Creating Website structure" challenge and can't figure out what's wrong!

I'm having issues with the grid challenge. I put the code in for the "container" and "clearfix" which that was fine, but when I did the 2nd task it kept saying it was wrong. I was suppose to also add the <div class="grid_5 omega"> which I did right after the "container" div and it kept saying the 1st task wasn't there and then I tried placing it somewhere els and then it said I needed to add it.

Please Help! Thanks!

@Marketra - A few things would be helpful here ...

  • Please make your own thread for your question
  • Post a link to which challenge you are stuck on
  • Post a "working" version of your code using codepen.io
