The best way to measure the quality of a piece of code is "Oh F*** "s per line

I assume the image is in the same folder and the name and extension are correct

Maybe try adding a / so it reffers to the document root

  

<img src="/hotdog2.jpeg" alt="Hmmmm... Tasty!">

 

Quote or mention me if not feel ignored

Try to use a editor with Syntax highlights to make life easier.

 

Sublime, Atom

This so so unbelievably wrong, you link relative to where the current file it so if you have a folder layout like this 

index.html
/pictures
	image.png

You would link to the picture with  

<img src="/pictures/image.png">

a great place to learn is w3shools. That's where I learn it and I still use it frequently for reference.

Good morning,

You have omitted the final ". 
  

Change this code:

<a href="file:///H:\Why\Why.htm>

Into this code:

<a href="file://H:\Why\Why.htm">



 

Regards,

Richard.

The errors you made are kind of fundamental. If you just started learning it's fine, but I suggest you take a look at this, it may help you. ^_^

Im a noob at HTML 

<html>
  <body>

    <a href="file://H:/Why/Why.htm">Link text</a>

<img src="hotdog2.jpeg" />
<p> Don't know why I put that in there.</p>
</body>
</html>

OR  

<html>
  <body>
<a href="file://H:/Why/Why.htm"> <img src="hotdog2.jpeg" /></a>
<p> Don't know why I put that in there.</p>
</body>
</html>

Each tag must end with an end tag, for example <p> CONTENT </p>

If a tag is a special one for which there's no concept of content, you shorten it by saying just />  ex : <img attribute="value" />

Or other examples: empty paragraph : <p />  , or horizontal ruler : <hr />

Paths should be relative to html document so that if you upload the html to a web server, you won't have to edit all html files to change paths.

Also note both Windows and browsers can use the "/" separator for folders, so it's safer to use that if you really want to link to a hardcoded (fixed) location

also note on Linux file and folder names are case sensitive so you generally want to make your life easy and use only lowercase characters.
