You need to close your opening table tag, like this.

<table border="5" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">

Once done, you should be good to go. :-)

I seem to have a similar problem. Preview looks good, the th 's are there.

<table>
   <tr>
     <th>Month</th>
     <th>Savings</th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>January</td>
     <td>$100</td>
   </tr>
