Courses Plus Student 239 PointsWhat is the solution to Challenge 5 of 5, I keep getting it wrong
Stage 2 Text Editors and HTML, in challenge Task 5 of 5, I seem to be getting it wrong. It says Add the alternate text "Avacado Chocolate Cupcake" to the image tag you just added. My answer is <img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg" alt="Avacado Chocolate Cupcake"> but is still says "Bummer! Your alternate text isn't quite right, check it again." What am I doing wrong?

Alt text is a way for readers and search engines to capture what is happening. The # sign idicates the url for the link.

Courses Plus Student 239 PointsThis is my answer to challenge 5 of 5, stage 2:
<img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg" alt="Avacado Chocolate Cupcake">
I keep getting the response that it is incorrect and hints that the something is wrong with the alt syntax. What could be wrong with my code.

5,205 PointsDid you make sure the text is exact? Here is the correct html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="featured-cupcake">
<h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2>
<img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg" alt="Avocado Chocolate Cupcake">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Let me know if you need any help understanding it or have any other questions. Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYou have a typo in avocado. Is that in your code or just on here?
Robert Khan
Courses Plus Student 239 PointsThank you guys for helping me out. I had the wrong spelling of Avocado, lol. Damn!
Kate Hoferkamp
5,205 PointsHaha it's always something minor like that! As long as you had the idea down, that's most important!
