I am using w3school's slideshow code. In the tryit editor they provide, it works fine. When I put it in Visual Studio Code, the arrows don't change the image like the tryit editor did. Why is this? How can I fix it? The link to the w3schools page is here: https://www.w3docs.com/tools/code-editor/3720
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

I'd add some space at the top of the images and spell England correctly for the first image.

That top space thing corrects itself when you change the browser size and stays corrected. It only happens when I start opening the url.
