Table with text in the cells?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my code:

<table border="1">
<tr>
<thead>
        <th>Table Head</th>
        <th>Table Head2</th>
</thead>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td>Table Data</td>
        <td>Table Data2</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hey Walter,

Took a look and I think the task requires you to add the tbody tag to the body of your table. your code should look something like this:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>content</th>
      <th>content</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>things</td>
      <td>things</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
    </table>

What problem are you having? Using your code everything seems alright to me. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/tufga

<table border="1"> 
  <tr> 
    <thead> 
      <th>Table Head</th> 
      <th>Table Head2</th> 
    </thead> 
  </tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td>Table Data</td> 
    <td>Table Data2</td> 
  </tr> 
</table>

Hey Walter,

That code should run fine. Is it not passing on a treehouse quiz?

I'm assuming you are working on this code challenge, Walter. Which part are you specifically stuck on?

Hey, Alexander, I thought it was correct. I even checked it out on an html file on my computer and the table came out great. Hey, Greg, that's the challenge task 7 out of 8.

I just tried the code you put in codepen. It didn't work. What to do?
