Build a Book Catalog Table - Build a Book Catalog Table

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:

The “check your code” for Build a Book Catalog Table in HTML course keeps giving me the error that “You should have one tbody element within your table element”. I of course have that, have filled it out and checked indentations. What could still be wrong?

The Preview page is showing everything as it should and as I would expect, its just the “check your code” that seems to have an issue with it, though i cant understand why.

Your code so far

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Book Catalog</title>
</head>

<body>
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Author</th>
