The question on 'Adding table heading tag' not working

Hi

I've been trying to pass the question 'Try adding a table heading tag to your table' for several hours now so I can continue learning.

Here is my code, what am I doing wrong?

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>My Page</title>
</head>

<body>

  <table border="1">
    <tr>
      <th>Fruits</th>
      <th>Vegetables</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Oranges</td>
      <td>Carrots</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Apples</td>
      <td>Broccoli</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Strawberries</td>
      <td>Asparagus</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td>Potatoes</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

</body>
</html>

Any help on this I'd greatly appreciate.

Thanks Anthony

Try this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>My Page</title>
</head>

<body>

  <table border="1">
   <!-- I think you're going to end up dividing your table into a thead and a tbody, and I think this is where you're supposed to start -->
    <thead>
    </thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Fruits</th>
      <th>Vegetables</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Oranges</td>
      <td>Carrots</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Apples</td>
      <td>Broccoli</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Strawberries</td>
      <td>Asparagus</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td>Potatoes</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

</body>
