NWUCHOLA OWEH PASCAL open the console in Chrome and post here the error that is showed. To open the dedicated Console panel, either: Press Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows / Linux) or Cmd+Opt+J (Mac).

Yes it is, and I've copied the image file to the same folder where the .html file is located

The preco image file is actually not a jpg file. It has windows player icon on it. so I tried another image that's in jpg format, and it worked.

Ok so the problem was the file name. Anyway use the console to debug your code when something doesn't work. Byee
