Html – Image not loading in Visual studio

I am currently working on a QR scan code page and for the life of me I can’t get the image to show. I am using visual code studio. This is what I have so far

<a href="C:UsersrpucksampleNew folderQRindex.html"><img src="image-qr-code.png" alt="QR code"></a>
  <b>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</b>

I have tried

 <a "image-qr-code.png"><img src="href="C:UsersrpucksampleNew folderQRindex.html" alt="QR code"></a>

    It looks like there are some issues with the HTML code you’ve provided. Let me help you correct it.

    Firstly, the a tag is used for creating hyperlinks, and it seems you are trying to link to an HTML file using an img tag inside it. If you want to display an image and link it to another HTML file, you should structure it differently.

    Here is an example of how you might want to structure it (by the way, I usually don’t recommend using the entire file location, if the index.html is at the same location as the file you are editing use "index.html" and if it is in a folder that the file you are editing is not in use "folder/index.html"):

    <a href="folder/index.html">
  <img src="image-qr-code.png" alt="QR code">
</a>

    In this example, the a tag wraps around the img tag, creating a hyperlink with the image as its content. The href attribute in the a tag should point to the destination HTML file.

    Make sure to use the correct path or URL in the href attribute. If your HTML file is local, make sure to use the correct relative or absolute path.

    If you want the image to be a clickable link, this should work. If you’re still facing issues, double-check the file paths and make sure the image and HTML file are in the correct locations.

    If you only want the image to render, use:

    <img src="image-qr-code.png" alt="QR code">

    (Same as before but without wrapping it in an a tag).

    If this all doesn’t work I would consider checking out other parts of the code or using another browser

    HTML links have a certain syntax. I presume you’re trying to make a clickable image.

    <a href = "path/to/file/index.html"> Test link </a>

    or

    <a href = "https://www.google.com/"> Click me to visit Google! </a>

    You must either use a forward slash (like in the examples above) or you must escape your backslashes by using double backslashes instead of single ones. However, it’s much easier and more compatible to use "/".

    Secondly, check where your files are, and where they are relative to your HTML file. If the image is in the same folder as your HTML file, you’d just do

    <img src = "name-of-image.jpg">

    and make sure to check the file name and the file extension (jpg vs jpeg, etc).

    If the image is inside an "images" folder or the like, you’d use the same forward slash syntax we talked about above:

    <img src = "foldername/imagefile.jpg">

    Try to keep all images inside an images folder, which is in the same folder as your HTML file (eg QR/images/image.jpg).

    You don’t need to have the extremely long link inside the a tag, as long as you open that HTML file in your browser. You can keep all paths relative to your HTML file as you could then move the QR folder and your website would be unaffected.

    It seems like there might be a problem with the path to your image file. Here’s how you can fix it:

    1. Relative Path:If your HTML file and the image are in the same directory, you can use a relative path. For example, if your index.html and image-qr-code.png are both in the QR folder, you can reference the image like this:

    2. Absolute Path: If they’re not in the same directory, you need to provide the absolute path to the image. However, when providing an absolute path in HTML, you should replace backslashes () with forward slashes (/). Also, you need to add file:/// at the beginning of the path. Here’s how you can do it:

    Please note that spaces in directory or file names should be replaced with %20.
