Tell us what’s happening:

This is failing on Test #13, but I have 5 books and the text inside the td element in the tfoot row is : Total Books: 5, so I don’t understand why the test is failing. Anyone see anything I’m missing here?

Hey there! :waving_hand:

I checked your code and found the issue—it’s not with your logic but rather a whitespace formatting issue.

You currently have:

But it should be written like this:

<td colspan="4">Total Books: 5</td>

Keeping everything on the same line ensures the test recognizes it correctly. Make this small fix, and you should pass the test!

Yup! That was it. Thank you, @seopostexpert.
