a href and img src. Whats wrong with these codes?

Posted 06 January 2013 - 10:06 PM 

 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title></title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<img src="http://i.imgur.com/N1GeA.gif"/>
        <a href="http://reddit.com" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/UwAA6.jpg"></a>
		<a href="http://reddit.com/></a>
		
	</body>
</html>

I'm doing a lesson on code academy
http://www.codecadem...2#!/exercises/3
 Between the body tags, add two images. One should be a link; the other should not. The link can go anywhere you want.
After your two images, create a link that's just a line of text. It can link anywhere you want.

This code below has two things wrong... first it has no text in it to serve as the link text. Secondly, you are missing a double quote after the com/ part.

 <a href="http://reddit.com/></a>


Should look like this for standard links...

 <a href="http://reddit.com/">Go to Reddit</a>


Other than that, the rest looks good. :)

I fixed that part but one image still is not a link like it should be. :/ 
	<a href="http://reddit.com" />
        <img src="http://i.imgur.com/UwAA6.jpg"/>click here </a>
        <img src="http://i.imgur.com/3BTwK.gif" />
        <a href="http://sociallooks.com" >My Company</a>

your second image is not within the <a>-Tags.

this should do the thing...
<a href="http://reddit.com" /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/UwAA6.jpg"/>click here </a>
       <a href="SET_A_URL"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/3BTwK.gif" /></a>
       <a href="http://sociallooks.com" >My Company</a>

Well, you need to remove the '/' after the <a href="http://reddit.com" /> tag as that would indicate the closing of the tag.

Instead, you should do like this.

<a href="http://reddit.com" >
        <img src="http://i.imgur.com/UwAA6.jpg"/>click here </a>
        <img src="http://i.imgur.com/3BTwK.gif" />
        <a href="http://sociallooks.com" >My Company</a>


Well, I tried it out and it said That's correct! Next Exercise: Congratulations!

regards,
Raghav
