Web Design - Add a table heading tag to the table

I'm stuck on this task. I feel like my code is accurate?

<table> <tr> <th>Heading One</th> <th>Heading Two</th> </tr> </table>

Any help is appreciated!

I'm not sure how I can paste the actual code so that you can see it? The <code> tag doesn't seem to work in here.

Thanks so much for the reply Kevin! Just as soon as I asked the question I realized exactly what I was missing. Everything is good on my end now, thanks again!

For others who may encounter the same issue that I was having, I was using the

<th>

tag rather than the

<thead>

So, my code was

<table> 
    <tr>
        <th></th>
    <tr>
</table>

I was creating 'header cells' as opposed to a 'table header'. This was a simple mistake that stumped me for awhile. I hope this explanation may help someone in the future!
