Hello,

Can you post your code so we can see.

normally it would be something like this... if the filename of the image is photo.jpg and in the folder called img and it's within a list element.

<li><a href="img/photo.jpg"><img src="img/photo.jpg"></a></li>

Hope this helps.

I can't see anything wrong with the syntax of your code. Here is mine, which is exactly the same as yours - folder name different.

 <ul id="gallery">
          <li>
            <a href="Images/numbers-01.jpg">
              <img src="Images/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
                <p> Something></p>
            </a>
          </li>

If it's still not working, then add a new html page, copy and paste the basics, doctype, head and body, and then try add the same code to see if it works there.

Make sure the image name is exactly the same, watch out for caps, provided the photo is in your dictionary as well!

Hi Nitish, I think you're confusing my reply as Michael's, my reply was to show michael how it should look like. Although you pointed out in your own code something I missed with mine which is the alt="" part after the link to the image.

My bad! No wonder I did not see the problem in the code...
