There's nothing wrong with that HTML. Something's wrong with the Codeacademy course answer if it thinks that's wrong.

So i'm using codecademy.

 

Before anybody scoffs or has a heart attack -_-, I'm just trying to learn syntax......

So what's wrong with this code? Codecademy tells me there's an error.......

 

This is what it asked me to do on the codecademy course:

Quote
Instructions

Add a second image below the first one. (Make sure it's before the closing <body> tag!)

If you can't think of a good picture, use this ninja:

i cant find anything wrong with that, i even copied it to a file and opened the .html file in my browser and its fine

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Hey dude,

 

Code wise - nothing.

 

Knowing codeacademy it'll be somehting like an indent or something stupid..

 

Have fun - try reloading the webpage and retyping in the code that you were asked to do

Nothing wrong with it. <img> is a self closing tag, used to be <img ...></img> per xhttp standards but in html 5 it's simplified to <img ... /> like many other self closing tags.

You sure removing that forward slash from the end of the image tags won't work?

That's supposed to be there, though, otherwise the code won't comply with W3C standards for the Doctype he is using.

Code academy often glitches and does but accept the answer. I suggest you google the answers and you will find a github page with the correct code on. Copying that will usually cause code academy to accept the answer and put you onto the next task.

 

Even correct code is sometimes rejected.

To further add to what I said above, it appears I was wrong and "/" is not really required in HTML5. But both syntaxes are correct.

 

https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#void-elements

 

If a tag can't have any elements in it, you can either use the "/" or not and it doesn't take a closing tag at the end (e.g </img>).
