Help attaching image

I am working on my personal website currently and I am having trouble adding an image. I don't know if its because im not pinpointing exactly what folder it may be in or not.

I am using notepad++. I created one folder to keep all my documents in for the website. It is called Portfolio Website.

The image im trying to (chanel.jpg) use and the webpage im trying to attatch it to( index.html)are not in subfolders so im not sure what im doing wrong. They are both in the same folder.

i typed in

<img src="img/chanel.jpg>

maybe its not working because the name of the folder everything is is is called. Portfolio Website?

I know this may be slightly vague but any help is appreciated. -Nel

You said the image is not in a folder but you declared it in the img folder in your code. Make a folder called img inside the website folder. Then put the chanel.jpg image inside of it and it should work.

Can you screenshot what your folder looks like?

Also could the file be a png by any chance?

Have you pressed save?

It looks right to me so I am not 100% sure.

I looked at the screenshot. It looks like everything is set up fine. Are you 100% sure the file is chanel.jpg and not chanel.png or something else?

Hopefully someone else sees this. I am stumped. Everything looks right.

i will recheck that. and yes im just as confused. I got a new computer with windows 8 so everything is all over the place and im trying to figure out why its set up the way it is. LOL i will go back through and see about the image. it must be something related to that.

I put my whole file into workspaces and everything shows up so i guess ill just use workspace. When i used notepad++ i was able to put the file on the html page the only thing that happens is that picture does'nt show. its just a box with a picture of a blank file.
