Closing the <img> element while nested within <ul>

HTML-CSS
1

I’ve tried closing <img> after the closing </ul> element like the directions say with /> and </img> and >, I’ve also tried all these in other locations like after URL, I’ve researched how to close the element and tried what I found but I’m missing something. I’ve been trying for about an hour and I’m stuck researching it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  **Your code so far**


<html>
<body>
  <h1>CatPhotoApp</h1>
  <main>
    <section>
      <h2>Cat Photos</h2>
      <!-- TODO: Add link to cat photos -->
      <p>Click here to view more <a target="_blank" href="https://freecatphotoapp.com">cat photos</a>.</p>
      <a href="https://freecatphotoapp.com"><img src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>
    </section>
    <section>
      <h2>Cat Lists</h2>
      <h3>Things cats love:</h3>
      <ul>
        <li>cat nip</li>
        <li>laser pointers</li>
        <li>lasagna</li>
        <img src="https://cdnfreecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/lasagna.jpg" alt="A slice of lasagna on a plate">
      </ul> 

      
    </section>
  </main>
</body>
</html>

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, 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 (’).

There are some mistakes in your code:

  • The img should be after the closing `
  • The href of your image is wrong, you forgot the dot(.) after cdn in https://cdnfreecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/lasagna.jpg
    • 3

    Thanks for the pointers. I’m still having trouble closing the img.

    </ul></img>

    I don’t understand why this doesn’t work.

    You dont need to close an img like other element such as the ul element, an <img> element is a self-closing element and doesnt have a </img>

    here’s my error:

    Hint

    There should be an img element right after the closing </ul> tag.

    Can you post your current code.

    <ul>
          <li>cat nip</li>
          <li>laser pointers</li>
          <li>lasagna</li>
          <img src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/lasagna.jpg" alt="A slice of lasagna on a plate">
        </ul>

    The img element should be after the </ul> not before it.
