:white_check_mark: Your spacing is fine. Spaces between attributes and values is ignored (but it is good practice to leave them off).

:point_right: The challenge asks you to "Put two header cells...", the keyword here is header. Besides being located inside the header area, a header cell would be tagged TH instead of TD, like this:

    <table border = "5" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="10">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th align="center">Name</th>  <!-- these are "header cells" -->
                <th align="left">Adress</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Jill</td>
                <td>Route 55</td>
            </tr>
        <tbody>
    </table>

Right off the bat I can see that your border attribute on the table element is not set up properly (cannot have spaces on the sides of the equal sign).

border = "5" should be border="5"

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your reply.

My question was incomplete. The chaledge ask me to: "Put two header cells with any text inside of the row you just created". Can not see the bug!

"Hi Jeff,

The problem is that it asked you for table header cells and you used normal table row cells. Don't forget that table header cells have their own tags. You have thead which designates that "this here contains stuff that is the header" but inside of the thead, you still have to use table header tags, not table row tags, which is what you did.

Now you got it figured out? ;)
