image path

Chris Passavia -

Step 2 of the code challenge you linked to:

> We've placed an image named 'cupcake.jpg' in a directory named 'img'.

You didn't reference the directory in your code.

Try...

html<img src="img/cupcake.jpg">

The image files you downloaded were in a folder called img.

You probably don't have the correct path. Where is your 'cupcake.jpg' image located? Is it within a folder (ie 'images/cupcake.jpg')?

hey chris. for the tutorial on the website your image is located in a file next to your index.html for example. if you had a folder called website and inside that folder you had your index.html your image is in a folder next to your index.html called img and inside that folder is your images. ive tryed to draw a small example: where [] = folders and ()=files

[WEBSITE] --> (index.html) [img][css] [img] -- > (cupcake,jpg)

So to locate the image you have to tell the index exactly where to go currently your doing this : <img src="cupcake.jpg"> witch basically = this result [WEBSITE] --> (index.html)[img][css] -- searchs for cupcake.jpg and can't find it. your asking it to find a file the doesn't excist because its in the img folder so to fix it we just add a directory change: <img src="img/cupcake.jpg"> witch = this result [WEBSITE] --> (index.html)[img][css] -- searchs and opens [img] [IMG] --> searchs for cupcake.jpg -- if the image is there it loads it

hope this help
