Images won't show up on website preview

I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with my code-- my images won't show up in the preview. My images are located in a folder named img

Here's my code:

<section> <ul> <li><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="numbers 1 image"><p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p></li> <li><img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="numbers 2 image"><p>The second image.</p></li> </ul> </section>

you might have to back out of the file. try
img src="../img/numbers-01.jpg"

Check to see which directory your images are stored in. If you have your html in a separate folder that is no the root directory you will have to backup one level using "../img/number-01.jpg"

Anytime, happy coding! Just got reference for everyone else. The image was in a separate directory so you must back out of the directory to the root directory then go into the img folder using "../img/number-01.jpg"
