HTML Video & Audio: Challenge Task 3 of 4

Task: On the <audio> tag, add the proper type attribute that corresponds to the source file. Error: Oops! It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing.

What am I doing wrong? I followed the steps one-by-one.

    <meta charset="utf-8">

Your answer is correct for Challenge Task 2 of 4, but I tried your code for Challenge Task 3 of 4 and it doesn't work.

<audio src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3"> </audio>

I get the following error. On the <audio> tag, add the proper type attribute that corresponds to the source file. Bummer! Be sure to add a type attribute to your <audio> element.

I have a same issue.

I have used <audio src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3" tpye="video/mp3"> </audio>

However, It doesn't work.

Hi Susan,

You're on the right track...

First, HTML doesn't have a <source> tag. What the challenge is asking for is that your src is attached to the <audio> tag. So, you just need to move the src line into the <audio> and delete the <source>.

Additionally, Although in most cases whitespace doesn't matter, it does when it comes to a space between the src and the = sign... so you'll need to also remove that space.

<audio src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge-audio.mp3">
</audio>

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
