I don’t understand why I cannot pass this exercise. What do I do wrong? It keeps saying: Oops, try again. Add a ‘style’ attribute to the first “th” tag! Set the value of this attribute to ‘color:red;’

``` Table Time 
<body>
    
    <table style="border-collapse:collapse;">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th style="color:red;" colspan="2">Famous Monsters by Birth Year</th>
            </tr>
            <tr style="border-bottom:1px solid black;">
                <th style="padding:5px;"><em>Famous Monster</em></th>
                <th style="padding:5px;border-left:1px solid black;"><em>Birth Year</em></th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td style="padding:5px;">King Kong</td>
                <td style="padding:5px;border-left:1px solid black;">1933</td>     
            </tr>
            
            <tr>
                <td style="padding:5px;">Dracula</td>
                <td style="padding:5px;border-left:1px solid black;">1897</td>
            </tr>
            
            <tr>
                <td style="padding:5px;">Bride of Frankenstein</td>
                <td style="padding:5px;border-left:1px solid black;">1944</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>

Ok, so the excercise was accepted after I added style attribute with color:red to the first “tr” tag as well. However, I still don’t understand why it wasn’t accepted earlier.

Passing code:

<thead>
                <tr style="color:red">
                    <th style="color:red" colspan="2">Famous Monsters by Birth Year</th>
                </tr>

it should have passed earlier, seems you hit a glitch, good you get it to work in the end :slight_smile:
