''Failed to load resource" from the HTML/CSS course basics

Can anyone help me with a technical question? An image is not loading properly on my index.html tab on my browser, When I inspected the element, it says "Failed to load resource" any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

"Failed to load resource" sounds like a file path issue.

Here's an example:

file directory structure example

Does that help?

If not, you can read up about absolute vs relative paths

Hi David,

If you can show us your code you have it would make helping you out a lot easier.

Sorry for the late reply back!

So I tried to enter the piece of code here to show you all but for some reason after I would hit "save answer" it was not showing my code, user error I hope!!! So I checked the line of code several times before ,and Its fine. This is for the "Build a simple website" / " Images and List" part of the lesson. It's the part when you are supposed to enter the image source to the first image. When I do that it does not show the image, instead It's shows on the screen (not the title tab) Smell Like Bakin. This is after saving the file on my text editor and after refreshing the browser as well. I also DL'ed the project ZIP file. I don't know what else to do.

Looking forward to getting passed this issue.

Thank you!

Ok, I figured out the problem, I had not extracted the IMG files from the ZIP file. Once I did that, I refreshed the browser and the Image appeared like it should have.

What's great about this, is that I was able to learn about my machine in a better way being presented with a problem, which will happen more often than not. So thank you anyways guys!
