    Fixing those broken images...

    You’ve almost got the lounge back in working order; all you need to do now is fix those images that aren’t displaying.

    We haven’t looked at the <img> element in detail yet (we will in a couple of chapters), but all you need to know for now is that the <img> element’s src attribute takes a relative path, just like the href attribute.

    Finding the path from “lounge.html” to “drinks.gif”

    To find the path, we need to go from the “lounge.html” file to where the images are located, in the “images” folder.
