I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong. It keeps saying that my tr element should have a td element as the first child.

2

The th elements should be found within td tags.

3

th stands for table header
tr stands for table row
td stands for table data

you are creating a row with a blank data spot and three headers

-data- . -header- . -header- . -header- .

each time you add td or th you are creating a column

It is often good to search up a tag list when introduced to new tags, this is what I use :smiley:

4

Do you mean all the elements should be in one tag or each should be nested in individual tags? If so, I tried both, didn’t work.

5

The ‘tr’ element is a parent element. Within its tags, it should be found three ‘th’ elements wrapped in ‘td’ tags:

<parent>
  <child>
     3 x table header element
  </child>
</parent>
6

Nevermind. I found the error. The tr and td elements were supposed to be nested within the thead element above. Thanks for your assistance.
