Give the image tag...I put in src="images/spain.jpg". Its not working.

Is there something wrong with this portion of this task or did I do it wrong somehow?

index.html 
<!doctype>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My trip to Spain</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <img alt="A picture of me in Spain" src="images/spain.jpg">
    Here is a picture of me in Spain last summer!
    <a>Go back to the top of the page.</a>

  </body>
</html>

I just entered the same:

<img alt="A picture of me in Spain" src="images/spain.jpg">

and it passed the task. Try deleting what you added and type it again, you may have included some hidden characters by mistake.

Yeah, I copy and pasted the op's original <img tag and I second this. It looks like you hit a random glitch. Maybe a random no-width-space character fell in there or something and it messed up your code and fixed itself when you copy and pasted. Try it again and it should work. :)

hey!

There were a few issues with your html syntax. I've tried fixing the issues and have created a button script for you that takes you to the top. Try it out. Please note that I've put a different image path for reference. You may replace it with your own image path. Happy learning!

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My trip to Spain</title>
  </head>
  <body>

  <figure>
    <img src="http://placeimg.com/640/480/people" alt="A picture of me in Spain">

    <figcaption>
    Here is a picture of me in Spain last summer!
    </figcaption>
  </figure>

    <button onclick="topFunction()" id="myBtn" title="Go back to the top of the page">Top</button>
    <script>
window.onscroll = function() {scrollFunction()};

function scrollFunction() {
    if (document.body.scrollTop > 20 || document.documentElement.scrollTop > 20) {
        document.getElementById("myBtn").style.display = "block";
    } else {
        document.getElementById("myBtn").style.display = "none";
    }
}

function topFunction() {
    document.body.scrollTop = 0;
    document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
}
</script>

  </body>
