Challenge task issue

I'm trying to get through the challenge - "Add a table heading tag to the table you just created."

I've coded as the following -

<table>

  <th>Table Heading Tag</th>

</table>

And it gives me this error - "Bummer! Try adding a table heading tag inside of the table."

I've tried a half dozen other things, and nothing seems to correct it. What am I missing?

'<thead></thead>' is what you are looking for, I believe. <thead> is the heading section of the table, while <th> is a heading cell inside of a table.
