Description

The last few challenges showed that each object in the JSON array contains an imageLink key with a value that is the URL of a cat's image. When you're looping through these objects, you can use this imageLink property to display this image in an img element. Here's the code that does this: html += "<img src = '" + val.imageLink + "' " + "alt='" + val.altText + "'>";

Instructions

Add code to use the imageLink and altText properties in an img tag.

Tests

tests:
  - text: You should use the <code>imageLink</code> property to display the images.
    testString: assert(code.match(/val\.imageLink/g));
  - text: You should use the <code>altText</code> for the alt attribute values of the images.
    testString: assert(code.match(/val\.altText/g));
