How do you select the image and set it to be a block element?

I've tried to select the image in the css file and do a 'display: block;' But that doesn't seem to work.

Setting an img tag to block should work as you mentioned. Could you show your code exactly as you have it? (both html and css please.)

Thanks

Cheers,

Make sure it looks like this:

img {
  display: block;
}

If you already have the above, then it could be you may have forgotten to link your css file in your html file. Or there is a spelling or syntax error in your link element.

What if you use the img's class name instead of "img" on your main css file?
