won't let me save index.html

dont have a "slash" in front of it. just save the file as index.html in your projects folder. what operating system are you on?

No need for the forward slash at the beginning. Just save as index.html in whatever folder you're using for the website.

Hi Margot. Have you created a new folder on the desktop and tried saving to there?

Can you please give us more context? Why are you trying to save a file? Who's asking you to do it? Thanks!

I am trying to do the step in the lists and images section (around second 56 in the 12:55 long video) of saving sublime text 2 as index.html.

Ok I just did it! Thank you all for your help. One thing though, I tried to download an image myself and use it in the code of this demonstration, but when I refreshed the browser, it didn't pick it up. Not a big deal, but if anyone feels like telling me why that would be great.

No problem. On that next point, you'd need to post the code so we can see what might be causing the issue.

ok, first I created a folder called img, then I downloaded an image from the internet, saved it as cupcake.jpg and put it in the folder. This is the code I used: <img src="img/cupcake.jpg" alt="Smells Like Bakin">

Hey try this in your terminal. cd into the directory you're using for your project and then type the following:

$ sudo chmod 777 .

I hope this works. a shorter way is to have the path to the directory directly without having to cd into it so it would be:

$ sudo chmod 777 /path/to/your/directory/

After either of these, try saving your file again.

Let me know how it goes.

I cant see the code for some reason Margot. You're correct to create a IMG folder and put the image in here. The code to insert the image should look something like this:

<img src="img/cupcake.jpg" alt="cupcake">

````<img src="img/cupcake.jpg" alt="cupcake">

yes that is exactly what i wrote. maybe i created the folder incorrectly? I just created a new folder and called it img.

No you need to create a folder on desktop, call it 'web project', then in that folder create another folder called 'img' and put the image in there. You want a main folder for the files such as the index.html and then a secondary folder inside the main one to place your images in.

Thank you so much Jordan, I will try that
