It should look like this:

<table>
<thead></thead>
</table>

because we use the thead tags to create table headers.

Steven Prescott - Here on the forums we usually like to give people a hint or 2 to point them in the right direction. It can also be helpful to provide some missing context so someone understands their mistake rather than just cutting and pasting code.

Giving away answers without any explanation doesn't do anyone any favors.

Thank you so much that solved my problem, I was getting confused but I thought heading and header were different. It asked for the heading tag not header.

Anytime. I am glad that I was able to help you solve this problem. @JamesBarnett Helping a beginner with something as simple as telling them what the 'thead' tag means does them a favor. I'm sorry if you disagree, but I DON'T think Sarah does.

Steven Prescott - For future reference, the goal of these forums is not to get a user past a code challenge, instead it's to aid the learning process of our fellow Treehouse users. If you give them the answer, they don't learn much.

We believe that linking back to the videos and discussing the code is the most beneficial way of providing assistance to those who have run into such a roadblock.
