I have an image tag in the code ...

for some reason the challenge is "REMINDING" me to add an image tag with the path to the image ...

<li>
<a 
href="img/numbers-01.jpg">

<img 
src="img/numbers-01.jpg" 
alt="">
</a>
</li>

this is what I used in the workspace and it works and the images come up ...

I hand typed it out in the challenge ... to help memorization ... typed it out the same way ... and I got an error ...

went back through line by line ... its the same ...

went through it character by character ... its the same ...

still got an error ...

What character did you use to make new lines within tags? Remember that tag elements should be separated by a space, not by new line.

I do that for clarity ... but I also set it up the in a single line ... and it still gave me an error ... I wish I could load screen shots of what I did ...

Im not sure what you mean by "WHAT CHARACTER" ... charset ??? its utf-8 ...

By "what character" I meant what key you used to make a new line (Enter, etc.). But at the moment it does not matter anymore

Also remember to declare a type of list with "<ul>" opening tag and "</ul>" closing tag, "<li>" tags can't be used alone.

Hi nathaniel marquez,

The code challenge never asks you to add links or anchor elements. You only need the list with images. I pasted in your code snippet from your original post and removed the links, and it worked fine. :) I hope that helps!
