I'm adding header & footer tags between body tags but when checked it says it's wrong because need to be in body tags?

I am adding the header and footer tags but when I check my work it says they need to be between the body tags which they are.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>

Where does it say it's wrong?

The only thing wrong is that the <title> tag can not be empty.

The issue was that it was asking for a section tag too. I figured it out. :)

Here is the error code that popped up on task 6/6

Bummer! A section element needs to appear between the <body> and </body> tags.

Going back to the instructions, it appears they told us to add 3 things.

Add a header element, section element, and footer element.

All you need to do is add a section tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
    <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>
