# --description--
You can add images to your website by using the `img` element, and point to a specific image's URL using the `src` attribute.
An example of this would be:
`<img src="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/your-image.jpg">`
Note that `img` elements are self-closing.
All `img` elements **must** have an `alt` attribute. The text inside an `alt` attribute is used for screen readers to improve accessibility and is displayed if the image fails to load.
**Note:** If the image is purely decorative, using an empty `alt` attribute is a best practice.
Ideally the `alt` attribute should not contain special characters unless needed.
Let's add an `alt` attribute to our `img` example above:
`<img src="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/your-image.jpg" alt="A business cat wearing a necktie.">`
# --instructions--
Let's try to add an image to our website:
Within the existing `main` element, insert an `img` element before the existing `p` elements.
Now set the `src` attribute so that it points to this url:
`https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat`
Finally, don't forget to give your `img` element an `alt` attribute with applicable text.
# --hints--
Your page should have an image element.
```js
assert($('img').length);
```
Your image should have a `src` attribute that points to the kitten image.
```js
assert(/^https:\/\/bit\.ly\/fcc-relaxing-cat$/i.test($('img').attr('src')));
```
Your image element's `alt` attribute should not be empty.
```js
assert(
$('img').attr('alt') &&
$('img').attr('alt').length &&
/<img\S*alt=(['"])(?!\1|>)\S+\1\S*\/?>/.test(
__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code)
)
);
```
