# --description--
|
|
|
|
You can add images to your website by using the `img` element, and point to a specific image's URL using the `src` attribute.
|
|
|
|
An example of this would be:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<img src="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/your-image.jpg">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that `img` elements are self-closing.
|
|
|
|
All `img` elements **must** have an `alt` attribute. The text inside an `alt` attribute is used for screen readers to improve accessibility and is displayed if the image fails to load.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If the image is purely decorative, using an empty `alt` attribute is a best practice.
|
|
|
|
Ideally the `alt` attribute should not contain special characters unless needed.
|
|
|
|
Let's add an `alt` attribute to our `img` example above:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<img src="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/your-image.jpg" alt="A business cat wearing a necktie.">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Let's try to add an image to our website:
|
|
|
|
Within the existing `main` element, insert an `img` element before the existing `p` elements.
|
|
|
|
Now set the `src` attribute so that it points to the url `https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg`
|
|
|
|
Finally, don't forget to give your `img` element an `alt` attribute with applicable text.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your page should have an image element.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('img').length);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your image should have a `src` attribute that points to the kitten image.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(/^https:\/\/cdn\.freecodecamp\.org\/curriculum\/cat-photo-app\/relaxing-cat\.jpg$/i.test($('img').attr('src')));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your image element's `alt` attribute should not be empty.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
$('img').attr('alt') &&
|
|
$('img').attr('alt').length &&
|
|
/<img\S*alt=(['"])(?!\1|>)\S+\1\S*\/?>/.test(
|
|
__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code)
|
|
)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
