Tables

Hi Why i got this problem? I've filled up first two cells with content which i've been asked for, and then my own text in the rest of them.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>HTML Tables</title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td>Job</td> <tr/> <tr> <td>Lukasz</td> <td>Front</td> <tr/> <tr> <td>Paola</td> <td>Zona</td> <tr/> <tr> <td>Zosia</td> <td>Coreczka</td> <tr/> </table> </body> </html>

    <title>HTML Tables</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>Name</td>
        <td>Job</td>
      <tr/>
      <tr>
        <td>Lukasz</td>
        <td>Front</td>
      <tr/>
      <tr>
        <td>Paola</td>
        <td>Zona</td>
      <tr/>
      <tr>
        <td>Zosia</td>
        <td>Coreczka</td>
      <tr/>
    </table>
  </body>

Hi, I'm not sure your exact question, but I can see in your code that you are trying to close your table rows with <tr/>.

The slash in closing tags should come at the start, eg. </div> </p> and </tr>

Try fixing your closing tags to </tr> and see if that helps.

Oh yes, I see. I was surprised because this tag <tr/> worked in previous steps of challenge. Thank you for help
