I fixed it, but there's still a warning. I used the base tag in the img element and deleted the inline style.
So what's with this warning?
The Unicode Byte-Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files is known to cause problems for some text editors and older browsers. You may want to consider avoiding its use until it is better supported.

It's like it says, Unicode with BOM is less supported. In BBEdit, at the bottom of the window, switch it to "Unicode (UTF-8, no BOM)" and re-save to fix the issue. I've come across it before.
