Hi Tony B,

You're right the HTML for that isn't in the actual workspaces. You don't need it to follow along. In fact, as you'll see in the next video -- Beginning the Project -- you're going to be stripping out all of that HTML anyway. We'll rebuild that HTML dynamically in the rest of the videos in this course.

Sorry for the confusion. If you are interested in what that HTML looks like just pause the video and check it out -- but you don't need that HTML to proceed in this course.

Thanks, Dave! I had forgotten all about that beginning myself. :D

Thanks guys!

Yep, I actually already finished the course but figured I'd let someone know! (Great course by the way, I feel like I can do some fancy things now)

Hey Tony,

The HTML within the "photos" div will be dynamically generated by the AJAX requests you make as you proceed into the Flickr API course. This is the div where your photos will be shown after the API call. :)

Thanks, but I was actually referring to the "sample pictures" that the teacher was referencing and was present in his video. However, it wasn't in our workspace. (This is all before we modify the HTML).

Ah, okay, my workspace is the one after it's all said and done, and I had forgotten about those original pictures haha Perhaps Dave McFarland can shed some insight as to why this HTML isn't present?
