Hi guys

When entering this tag: <img src with a space in between, the works pace editor keeps hi lighting it with the red color, but if I use imgsrc "one word" it will remove the it.

any Idea? Thanks Aldo

The correct way to insert an img tag is <img src="yourimg.jpg"> if I remember right the img tag is a self closing tag. also remember which ever file type your image file is to incluse that at the end such as <img src="yourimg.jpg"> <img src="yourimg.gif"> <img src="yourimg.png"> and so on. Hope this helps you out.

To assign values to an element's properties you use the equals sign. An image element needs a src property which can be declared like so

<img src="image.jpg" />
