Problem with alt tag

Hello Sheryl. I don't see any code in your post, but I am assuming you are referring to the alt tags that accompany images (and probably other objects). If so, they are there for two main reasons:

1. It makes the images searchable by a search engine like Google.
2. It allows people with impaired vision who use screen readers to get an idea of what the image contains.

It will not create a caption or anything detectable with your browser.

Here's an example:

<img src="file.jpg" alt="strong horse galloping in grass field">

Hope this helps!

Alt attributes should be added to images like so

<img src="image1.jpg" alt="This is the alt text" >

If that doesn't help post your code so we can take a look :)

Thanks. I think there might be a problem with one of the tests I'm taking because I can't get past adding the alt tag. I've double-checked my code and it is correct. For now I just skipped over that part and might come back to it later. Thanks for your help!

this thread was posted not long ago. Might be something to do with that?

Also, sometimes you need to refresh the page to get the editor to accept your answer, this can mean starting the challenge again which is a bit annoying.
