Tell us what’s happening:

I have done exactly what is asked here and yet it is not working:

  1. The td element in your tfoot element’s row should have the text Total Books: [number of books in your table].

Your code so far

The < /td> has to be on the same line as the < td>. It can’t be on the next line down.
Ex:
< td colspan=“4”>Total Books: 5< /td>

If you put
< td colspan=“4”>Total Books: 5
< /td>
it will be incorrect.
Weird, but that’s the only way it will accept the answer as correct.
