Image tag

I am told during challenge questions to ensure I add an image tag. But I believe my code includes it. Any thoughts on what I am missing? <section> <ul> <li><a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></a></li> <li><a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"><img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""></a></li> <li><a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"><img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""></a></li> </ul> </section>

The image tag should go like this:

<img src = "name of the folder/name of the file" alt "description if you want" >

In this example you should create first and UL and three LI items that should be your image gallery using the names of the project filesit should work like this

<section>
      <ul> 
        <li> <img src ="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt ""> </li>
        <li> <img src ="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt ""> </li>
        <li> <img src ="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt ""> </li>

      </ul>
    </section>

Thanks Shana and Colby. I realized my mistake, I was adding an anchor tag to the image source. No need to do that, just should have kept it with the HREF.

Thanks Again!

on a related note, i tried copying and pasting the code, but it didn't come across. Should I use alt print screen instead? or is there a trick to the copy&paste that I am missing with the forum and the workspace?

I used Ctrl C to copy Ctrl V to paste if you are on a Mac CMD C CMD V and it works
