Technical issue on Web Design module / Code Challenge / Stage 4

I'm trying to take the code challenge on the stage 4 of the web design module I should create an unordered list and three blank items on stage 1, which I do with no problem. Then on stage 2 I need to add three images to the code, but no matter how I do it, it doesn't let me pass. After several attempts thinking I was doing something wrong, I gave up and copied the code verbatim from the lesson, and still no luck. Then actually copy/pasted, in case I screwed it up during class.

Yesterday I had issues with this same challenge. The module didn't load at all, and I had to go through customer service to bring it back.

Is it anyone else experiencing?

You may have forgotten to add the "img/" in front of the image file, the "img/" refers to the image file, hope that helps

Without seeing your code (yet) allow me to ask a few questions.

  • Are you using the <img> tags inside the <li>?
  • Are you using the src="" and alt="" attributes inside the <img> tag(s)?
  • Are you using the correct path to the images in the src attribute? e.g. 'src="img/numbers-01.jpg"`

The path was right. The problem was that I inserted a link to the image, like so:

    <li>
      <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
      <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </a>
    </li>

and I shouldn't have had. I'm not sure why I wasn't meant to add it in though.

Thank you for taking time to reply, Sean.

Thank you. It turned out I was simply wrong. My mistake was that I kept inserting <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> in the code, which I apparently didn't have to. Thank you Kasim.

You are meant to add the a href later on in the tasks I think, but for that task you just needed to add images src and a blank alt, hope that helps :) and good luck.
