Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 2,881 PointsCat won't load!!
var name = prompt("What is your name?");
alert(Hi, ${name}. Want to see something cool?);
document.querySelector('html').innerHTML =
<h1>Welcome to ${name}'s site!</h1>
<img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/JIX9t2j0ZTN9S/giphy.gif">
;
This is the error code that pops up
Refused to load the image 'https://media.giphy.com/media/JIX9t2j0ZTN9S/giphy.gif' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src 'self' *.githubusercontent.com *.googleusercontent.com lux.speedcurve.com mdn.mozillademos.org media.prod.mdn.mozit.cloud media.stage.mdn.mozit.cloud interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net wikipedia.org www.google-analytics.com www.gstatic.com".
Do you guys think this may be a setting on my specific computer I need to adjust???

There's also an entire web site dedicated to this directive, content-security-policy.com. Here's their page that describes this specific issue: The img-src Directive.

4,141 PointsI also dont see the cat gif - and would like help understanding the Content Security Policy (CSP) . I undesratand the need to set a policy so that the browser accepts images from giphy but where and how do we add that policy into our code, or something that has to be set on the server? I am using chrome and firefox.
