I can't get the img to go while I'm taking the quiz.

How do you code an image? Cause apparently I'm doing it wrong. I tried doing <img src="cupcake.jpg" alt=""/> and nothing happens! What am I doing wrong? I reallyl want to finish the quiz!

It still says that I'm doing something wrong. It says "Double check your image path."

You need to identify where your image is located. So if it is in the img folder you will have to put it as such: 

<img src="img/image.png">

You need to identify where you image is located. For example, if it is in the 'img' folder you would type in: <img src="img/image.png">

You may want to try removing the trailing forward slash (/) as it's not needed in HTML5 plus you're missing the alt="" and title="" parts.

Hope this helps? Jeremy.

PS the trailing slash is used in XHTML for web standards as far as I know.

That response made me smile :)

Aww best of luck with them though, you'll do fine! Taking notes on this stuff can help massively though! Helped me anyway and I have been working with HTML since I was... well really young. Learnt the hard way so to speak.
