Stuck on Task 8/8 With Perfect Coding. How Do I Get Past?

My coding is perfect and I've already seen that other people are having problems with this too. Is there anyway I can just skip this since it seems to be some type of bug in the system.

My Code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title> </head> <body> <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

<!-- Write your code below --> <table border="2"> <thead> <tr> <th> German Cars</th> <th> Japanese Cars</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td> BMW</td> <td> TOYOTA</td> </tr> </tbody> <tfoot> <tr > <td colspan="2" align="center"> This is Two Columns </td> </tr> </tfoot> </table> </body> </html>

Your code should look something like this.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <table>
      <thead>
       <tr>
        <th>Item</th>
        <th>Item</th>
       </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>Cells</td>
          <td colspan="2">Two Colums/td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

There's nothing wrong with the exercise that I can see running through it.

Your code isn't complete or was pasted wrong, so if I went off what you have posted it would be wildly incorrect.

<!-- Write your code below -->
<table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Test</th>
          <th>Test 2</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>Blah</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td colspan="2">Blah 2</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
</table>

Above is the completed code if you do wish to skip, however I highly recommend you don't and take some time to review the code. It's not very glamorous, but knowing the foundations to what you are learning helps keep the rest above stable.
