So I seem to be having an issue with no matter which file I choose the picture won't appear in my web page.

I will post the line and code that I used and the name of the image

<img src="img/Batman-Wallpaper-3.jpg" alt="">

I was having the same problem Sam, but I had dragged the index.html file into the new img folder, which was causing the error. Drag it back out of the img folder and it will work properly.

The actual code is right, so I would double-check (and triple-check) a couple things:

  • Is the file name the EXACT same (including the extension..is jpg uppercase/lowercase in the file name?)
  • Is the img folder in the same main directory of your html page?
  • Make sure the image was uploaded into the img directory instead of it accidentally getting put somewhere else

Hard to help other than that without seeing the whole setup.

Good luck!

Good explanation Mike, I'll add 2 cents here: also make sure to check the img folder is named img only, and not img.html thinking that might be an html file like the index.html file instead of a folder which should be named only img. good luck!
