I am not quite sure how to fix this. Can someone please guide me on how to get past this question?

I am trying to put two header cells into a row and I dont know how.

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

    <!-- Write your code below -->
<table border="1">
  <thead>
  <tr>
    <th>These are My Favorite Colors</th>
  </tr>
    <tr>
      <thead>
      <th>Blue is my Favorite</th>
      <th>Colors are Great</th>
      </thead>
    </tr>
  </thead>

Hi Heather,

I'm assuming you're on task 4. You have 2 thead elements which is throwing off the engine.

I removed some of that extra html and you should have something more like this for the thead portion of this code challenge.

<thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Blue is my Favorite</th>
      <th>Colors are Great</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

So there is 1 thead element with 1 row inside of that, and then 2 header cells inside of that 1 row.

Let me know if it's still unclear for you.

Hello heather,

If you are referring to question 4. The question is slightly confusing. It should state "Place two heading cells with any text inside row just created." instead of "Put two header cells with any text inside row just created."

There is no need to create multiple table rows.

<thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Some text here</th>
      <th>Any text here</th>
    </tr>
</thead>
