You haven’t closed off your img element properly.

Thank you very much! I’m sorry to have made you answer such a stupid question as mine.

It’s easy to miss stuff. I’ve spent a long time staring at code which refuses to work until I spot some really simple mistake. It’s pretty normal I think!

Hey!
I just discovered the same that by closing the img element makes the code to be executed perfectly, but now I am wondering why in previous steps it was said that img element is a self-closing tag, so isn’t it a bit contradicting?
I hope you understand my question.
Thanks if you are eager to reply.

The difference between self-closing elements and elements which are not self-closing :

<!-- self-closing -->
<img src="url" alt="some text">
<input type="text" id="username">

<!-- not self-closing -->
<h1 class="header">This is a header</h1>
<p class="main-text">Here is some text</p>

Self-closing elements only need a single tag.
Elements which are not self-closing require both an opening and closing tag.
