You should put the alt attribute and its value inside the img tag, then you can pass.

Hello sir, I tried that too but it’s still not working :frowning:

You messed up the structure of this line of code. What you have is not what was initially their.

I suggest you reset the lesson then run the required code, do not interfere with other sections of your code.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

reset the step, you have changed code outside the intended section

<alt=“A cute orange cat lying on its back.”

If you put the alt attribute and its value inside the img tag, it will error. Keep the Alt on its own and it should work.
