Why is my lightbox image not loading when clicked on?

Question

When I click on the image itself, the lightbox loads but the image itself doesn't - instead, all I see is a white box. Basically, the lightbox shows up, but the image doesn't load. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I watched a youtube video on how to create a lightbox and followed the steps exactly. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I included the links to the proper javascript and css files.

Please help!!

This is my html below:

Sorry, but it is just not possible to give any answer without seeing live page/demo. Maybe try alternative lighbox script, for example, http://fancyboxjs.com — Janis, Mar 22 '19 at 13:36

maybe this is the problem

src="images/pic1 copy.jpg"

try to do it like this

src="images/pic1copy.jpg"

and make sure you are targeting the right picture with the right path. Let me know if it works
