I exactly did what she did. But the picture isn't changing. I saved my code too. Can any one tell what's the problem over here

Same problem for me. It works the first time I clear the cache, but I have to keep clearing the cache for each time. IE seems to work fine.

Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button to refresh your browser if your's is window 10.

I figured it out. You need to hold ctrl when you click refresh....but why?

I had a similar problem in Chrome. Refreshing (F5) didn't work. I had to empty the cache and then reload. Firefox doesn't have this issue.

Hi Vijayalakhsmi,

Have you tried refreshing your page in order to get the different images of the people? Usually, in your browser at the top, there is a refresh button or icon. When you refresh the page the people images will change. The link looks right, so I think it's a case of just refreshing the browser.
