How do you put a table heading tag inside a table?

I also tried putting the <tr> tag before the <th> tag, doesn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated.

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

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <table>
      <th></th>





    </table>


  </body>
</html>

Nope, that's not what it's looking for. You have the th tag which is a header for a cell, not the entire table. It's looking for the thead tag. Take a look:

 <table>
      <thead></thead>
 </table>

I suggest that you might need to use a table row tag first, and then put your table header tag inside that.
