The order a table is read in
Row by row, left to right: the same order a screen reader uses when it reads the table straight through.
An HTML table is built row by row: <table> holds rows (<tr>), each row holds cells, and a cell is either a data cell (<td>) or a header cell (<th>) that labels other cells.
Change the code and press Run (Ctrl+Enter). Predict what will happen first, then break it on purpose and read what changes. Your edits are saved and match the lesson page.
