@Kerde - When you have an issue with a code challenge, you can help get your issue resolved quicker if you provide:

  • a link to the code challenge you are working on
  • use codepen.io (or a similar service) to provide a "working" example using your HTML & CSS.

I just typed in my code for the 3rd time and it accepted it. Weird because I didn't change a thing.

Hi Kerde,

Stephanie is correct; the challenge is asking for the <thead> tag. The code you posted in your last CodePen link looks correct, as well.

@Kerde if you're still having problems please email me at help@teamtreehouse.com with a screenshot + link to the code challenge.

Though the following tag should work, as this is what the code challenge is looking for.

 <thead></thead>
