No image?

I'm inserting the image elements using the stock photos discussed in the previous video. When I click on the preview link, none of the images appear. What am I doing/not doing?

I'm glad you got it figured out. I've done things like that more than I care to admit. Sometimes it's the simple little things that get ya!

Hi Paul,

Are you referencing the image path via the "src" attribute?

An image element should follow the following format:

            <img src="img/image.jpg" alt="">
            ```

Thanks Shelby. After some further scrutiny, I realized that I changed the name of the folder from "img" to "images" in my workspace so the link to call the image was broken. Once I changed my folder name back to "img" it worked.

*Doh!

Hi Maureen,

I'm not sure if you have gotten help yet, but I am actually not very experienced with Workspaces, so I'm not entirely sure what could be causing the problem. I think you may have better luck asking the folks over on the General Discussion forum.

Good luck! Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Make sure when you drag an image to the img folder you only touch the right hand side of the "img folder" DO NOT go near the left (where the dots appear) that's how I had to do it then they loaded into the said folder.

Hope this helps
