Build an HTML Audio and Video

HTML-CSS

Hi can someone point me in the right direction?

  1. Inside the video element, you should have a source element.
  2. The source element should have a src attribute pointing to a video file.
  3. The source element should have a type attribute3.
  4. The type attribute should match the media type of the file extension of the src attribute.

Welcome to the forum @ruthdavis551

Photos/screenshots of an error can be helpful, but it also helps to provide the complete code. Posting the code helps us help you better!

When you enter a code, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

Syntax highlighting indicates that an element before the second section closing tag is not properly formatted.

Happy coding

    width="640"
    src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/labs/what-is-the-map-method-and-how-does-it-work.mp4"type="video/mp4">
