1,362 PointsMy images don't seem to work. Does the .jpg file need to be a certain size? My image I am trying to use is 1280x960
My image doesn't show when I use it. It is 1280x960. Is this to big? It shows in the workspace when I open it.

1,362 Pointsok I think I am confused here. I have tried having the image inside its own folder with the index.html. I have tried it outside the folder, nothing seems to work. I have tried the file name with lower case also...didn't make a difference. So you are saying that the image file and the index.html need to be in the same folder?
fredy mendez
5,886 Pointsit can be in any folder as long as you know the path to the image, but if you are confuse, for now just put the index.html and image in the same folder so you can to is like this <img src="DSCF1075.JPG"> assuming that the name of your image file in uppercase

727 PointsI had this same problem where just a little picture of an image holder appeared on my index page instead of my picture of a galaxy. I fixed it by changing "galaxy.jpeg" to "galaxy.jpg" (jpeg to jpg). I'm not sure why that worked, but it did.

When looking in the google console there appears to be an error. style="display:none". I think there lays the problem, but I don't know how to change it
