Social media buttons not showing up in footer

Here is the code for my footer:

<footer>

  <a href="http://twitter.com">

    <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo">

  </a>

  <a href="http://facebook.com">

    <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo">

  </a>

  <p>&copy; 2014 My Name</p>

</footer>

yet the only thing that shows up in my browser after saving and refreshing is the copyright part, neither the image or the "Twitter/Facebook logo" strings show up. Anyone have any idea what's going on or if there's something missing in my footer?

Can I have a look at your code? I reviewed the section and the images are showing in workspaces.

I think I found the problem. Whenever I upload 'facebook-wrap.png' and 'twitter-wrap.png' to the workspace and put them in the img folder, they disappear. I didn't include them in the folder and modified the src attribute accordingly and now thay are showing up just fine. I don't know if it's a problem in my computer or if this is something I should write to technical support about.

Hey Cesar, from what I can tell visually your code is missing a footer element.

I don't know why it wasn't showing in the question but it is there in the HTML in the workspace. is there any other error you see? Thank you for responding.

Do you have image files available on the workspace? It should be with the css and html files to the left.

I have them on the workspace in the right folder but I just tried accessing them through the workspace and I couldn't view them. I tried with the 'mail.png' image, which does show up in the workspace, and that one worked just fine. I will try reuploading the files and see if that fixes it.
