Why aren't my images displaying when I preview my Workspace?

When I preview my code, the links display and I can click through to my images (and they display on the new page). However, unlike the video, my images don't display on my homepage with the links. Any ideas?

Hi Robert,

Can you post your code please and we'll take a look?

This post should help with how to do that if required.

Thanks

Try this first make sure you have the correct path. If the image folder is " img" src should reveal "img/fileName.jpg"

Hi Robert, your code should be like this:

<img src="img/nameofthefile.jpg" alt="Your alternate text">

Make sure:

1) Your HTML syntax is correct

2) Your image is well into the img folder, and that the file name you are using is correct

3) Your list tags containing the image are closed.

4) You save your Workspace (CTRL + S or Command + S) before previewing

Thank your replies everyone, I ran Extract All from the zip folder and created the "img" folder inside the unzipped folder with the html file. Here is my code within the section.:
