First of all: You have defined your whole table content inside a `thead` element? > [@Megha](#): > > why the “Total” and “92” are not in **bold** for me If you inspect the header cells to see why _they_ are bold you will see that the bold `font-weight` comes from a rule in the user agent stylesheet for the `th` element. So by default `thead` and `tfoot` have nothing to do with the font weight. If you compare your markup in the `tfoot` element with Mosh’s you will see that he uses `th` elements while you are using `td `elements. That’s why your table looks different. BTW: In my opinion wrapping a _data_ value with a `th` is not correct sematically. I would write ```auto Total 92 ``` which is more correct semantically and we don’t have the alignment issue Mosh has at the end of the video. ---
