How do you come out of one directory and go into another?

Path directory challenge question.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Portfolio Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <../img/ src="logo.png" alt="Site logo">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>

It looks like you have the right idea, but the changes must be applied to the value of the src property.

Don't change the tag name!

For each level you want to step up add an additional ../

ex. of folder structure:

index.html img folder article folder

  • 2018
  • -articles.html

If your working in the "articles.html" within the "2018" folder you'll need to step up two levels if you want to link to an image from the "img folder."

<img src="../../img/image-name.jpg" alt="image alternate text" Title="image title">

Hope this helps!
