What's wrong with this IMG tag?

I think I am going crazy. I have an IMG tag like this:

<img src="/images/icon-articl.png" alt="xyz" />

All good, image is displayed fine. However I want to name the image icon-article.png instead but for some reason this is not accepted!

<img src="/images/icon-article.png" alt="xyz" />

will only show the ALT text! All I did was make a copy of the image file and rename it accordingly. Doing the same with "icon-articles.png" is fine again! When I enter the full address into the browser's address bar, the same happens, "icon-article.png" results in URL not found while the other images are shown.

What is this??

PS I don't think it matters but I am working on a localhost right now

EDIT: corrected my typo just to make sure that the code itself and filenames are fine. Problem is solved, see below.

Okay thanks everybody for your efforts, and sorry, I should have expressed myself better. The code itself was fine, what I gave in my question was only a snippet. Also all the files do exist, I always copied and renamed them.

So thanks EricG for your comment, the cache was the issue and CTRL-F5 solved the problem!

I will rember to do this more often ....

Make sure that when you change the name in the tag that you change the file-name as well. Otherwise it won't work.
