your td element is named incorrectly, you should nest your span elements within your th elements

3

Even with the td written as td /td, no change. Also the span elements are nested within the th elements are they not?

4

The tests want the opening and closing span tags to be on the same line. I would say in general, you should probably keep the tags for inline elements on the same line or you may run into this problem with other tests.

Also, the td element should have separate opening and closing tags, not combined into one.
