There are several things you need to look at.

  1. you never close your img tag

  2. You do not even have an alt attribute in your img. The directions say “ Your image element’s alt attribute should not be empty.”

Look at the directions carefully, and see how they add an alt with their img

My bad, what I mean is I’ve actually succeeded to the point, where the alt is working and the writing is showing up but it wont pass me, the code you are seeing is without thee alt. I have gotten as far as seeing writing on the side of the photo, but it says the alt is empty after I run it I’m going to post it once I have done thee alt, bear with me kind friend. Oh also thanks for taking time to respond that means a lot to me.

I have merged all of your duplicate posts into this thread.

As for your code, you are missing quotes and a > at the end of your img tag here

This is the correct structure for an image tag

<img src="url goes here" alt="descriptive text goes here">

Make sure to follow that structure and the test will pass.

Hope that helps!

You will need to close that img tag and also add an alt as so: alt=“my picture” so as JavaScript can render something when the image it’s found
