Task 8 of HTML Tables

I am stuck on task 8 of the code challenge for HTML Tables. I've tried everything to create another table row with a cell that spans 2 columns. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Anne,

Look at the code below for awhile. It'll make sense.

Jeff

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Any</th>
            <th>Text</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Cell</td>
            <td>With text</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2"></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Derek, Thanks for your response, but Jeff Busch gave me a hint, and I have it working now.

Jeff, Thanks, this does make sense. My mistake was I was putting the colspan="2" on the row <td> With text </td> rather than on a separate row. I appreciate your help.
