Having some trouble

I am trying to add this tag. Maybe I am putting it in the wrong spot? If anyone has any advice that would help so much.

index.html 
<!doctype>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My trip to Spain</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <img alt="A picture of me in Spain"> <img src="images/spain.jpg">
    Here is a picture of me in Spain last summer!
    <a>Go back to the top of the page.</a>

  </body>
</html>

So a couple of quick things to help out!

At the top of the page you will want to start the document with 

<! DOCTYPE html>

And for the alt tag you can write it like this:

<img src="images/spain.jpg" alt="A picture of me in Spain">

So the src and alt tag are in the same brackets. Hope this helps!

Also here is an extra resource to help too.

Justin Warren — I agree that the "doctype" tag is peculiar, but that's the way the challenge supplies it (and it is not checked).

But you might want to report it as a bug to Support.

The instructions say "Give the image tag a src attribute...", so you'll want to add the src attribute to the tag that is already there. You don't want to create a second img tag.

You have:

<img alt="A picture of me in Spain"> <img src="images/spain.jpg">

It should be:

<img alt="A picture of me in Spain" src="images/spain.jpg">

SRC and ALT are attributes on the same tag. Your first IMG tag has no image file linked to it!
