Not sure what's up. Tried many ways to show header element. :-\

Stuck on step two. The preview clearly shows a table with a header, but can't pass for some reason. I tried reloading, making the table more or less complicated, restating the challenge and doing a single element table and then converting the element to a header, also tried doing that but adding the header on top of the regular element.

html: ''' <table> <tr> <th>Header</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Element</td> </tr> </table> '''

Add an opening and closing <thead> between the <table> tags.

Isn't it supposed to look like this? I thought "<th>" was the right way to do a table header? Thanks for your help.

   <table>
      <tr>
        <th> Heading 1 </th>
        <th> Heading 2 </th>
        <th> Heading 3 </th>
        </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Element 1</td>
        <td>Element 1</td>
        <td>Element 1</td>
      </tr>
   </table>
