915 PointsProblem with Table Challenge, Task 4
The challenge is to put two header cells with any text "inside of the row you just created." I keep getting an error message that says "Header cells must be inside of a table row and have text in them." Isn't that exactly what I did below?
<table border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>My Cats</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Your Cats</th>
<th>His Cats</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td>Poppy</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bruno</td>
</tr>
</table>

2,860 PointsI only started today myself but the only thing i can see is that it might be that you have 2 separate groups of table rows. One with one table header and another with 2 table headers. I think it is looking for just the 2 table headers in the first instance of the table row. I may be wrong but this will be a learning exercise in debugging for me ><

<tr>
<th>My Cats</th>
</tr>
