#id not selecting my image in CSS - html

Question

I want to border an image, and when I code it in HTML, I get a border. But when I try it in CSS, the border will be placed south-west on my page, seperated from my image.
<img id="maxaboutme" />
<img src="C:\Users\M de Witte\Desktop\html\aboutme\maxpannenkoekenhuisHTML01.jpg"
height="300px" />
CSS
#maxaboutme{
border: solid grey;
border-width: 15px;
}
This is what happens :

Answer 1

Change your img tag as shown below :(In your case ,you had 2 of them which were not related to each other )
<img id="maxaboutme"
src="http://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/images/home-where.jpg" height="300px" />
CSS :
#maxaboutme
{
border: solid grey;
border-width: 15px;
}
<img id="maxaboutme"
src="http://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/images/home-where.jpg" height="300px" />

Answer 2

It should work like that. By the way I recommend you to use class instead of id ;)
#maxaboutme{
border: solid 15px grey;
height: 300px;
}
<img id="maxaboutme" src="C:\Users\M de Witte\Desktop\html\aboutme\maxpannenkoekenhuisHTML01.jpg" />

Answer 3

It's because you have added another image (<img id="maxaboutme" />) instead of applying the id to
<img src="C:\Users\M de Witte\Desktop\html\aboutme\maxpannenkoekenhuisHTML01.jpg" height="300px" />
Modify your HTML as below.
#maxaboutme {
border: solid grey;
border-width: 15px;
}
<img id="maxaboutme" src="C:\Users\M de Witte\Desktop\html\aboutme\maxpannenkoekenhuisHTML01.jpg" height="300px" />

Answer 4

Try This
CSS:
#maxaboutme{
border: solid grey;
border-width: 15px;
}
HTML:
<img id="maxaboutme" src="C:\Users\M de Witte\Desktop\html\aboutme\maxpannenkoekenhuisHTML01.jpg" height="300px" />
Pleae note: avoid using physical paths (C:\Users\M de Witte\Desktop\html\aboutme\maxpannenkoekenhuisHTML01.jpg) for your images because it will work on your computer only and it will not work for your client

Answer 5

html tag should be :
<img id="yourimage" src="http://placeit.org/300x300.jpg"/>
css :
#yourimage {
border: 1px solid gray;
height: 300px;
}
hope it would be helpful.

Answer 6

It's working. I had an extra IMG indeed.
I am still new and also learning from the paths.
