I cannot drag and drop the imgs from the file

I'm using Windows 8: I downloaded and can open and see the "img" folder and individual JPG files, I also can select only the JPG files and drag them to the position on my workspace (as seen in the video)..... I then drop them, however they do not upload into my "workspace" (as seen in the video), how can I correct this?

So, I am not sure if I am getting this right. But for what I know when you are working with html via text editor, drag and drop doesn't really work, or upload. I don't really use 'workspace' to practice, but for web servers and server usually require you to manually upload the files to the web server directory and or the image directory address (URL) linked into your codes.

I think this is likewise if you are using the treehouse workspace. Where you manually upload your photos into the server File => upload File => browse => select and have it link into your code via <img src="//directory "> tag.

If you are using your own text editor save in a local folder than you would have to do absolute link to the img folder.

I am not sure if this answer your questions or not. But i hope helps a little, best of luck to you!

Hi Steven, here's what you have to do to get it working. Right-click on the zipped folder and then Extract All...

From that point, you should be able to drag and drop the images into the workspace. Be sure you are dragging from your newly unzipped folder. :smiley:
