Cupcake Image

We've placed an image named 'cupcake.jpg' in a directory named 'img'. Add the image to the body of the document.. I keep getting error that says double check your image path. Not sure what I'm missing.

Hi Angela,

This error basically means that your img link is looking at the wrong source.

You might have something like this?:

<img src="cupcake.jpg" alt="I'm a sad cupcake...">

You might need to change it to something like this:

<img src="img/cupcake.jpg" alt="I'm a happy cupcake!">

In this example I am looking for the image source (src) in the img folder (img/) for an image called cupcake.jpg (img/cupcake.jpg)

Hope this helps :D

This is what it looks like:

<!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.cupcake.jpg" alt="I'm a happy cupcake">
</body> </html>
