I can't figure out where my mistake is when trying to add button to form.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">

      <h1>Sign UP</h1>

      <input type="text"id="name" name="user_name">
      <input type="email" id="mail" name="user_email">
      <input type="password" id="password" name="user_email">

      <textarea <input type="text" id="comment" name="user_comment"</textarea>

      <button type="submit">Sign Up</button>

Hi Vicki. Just a typo. Inside the textarea you can't use input field like this. Plese delete inside the input field. Just creat a textarea element. After when you create a button write the text "Submit Comment" so please fixed your button text. Hope this help.

<textarea type="text" id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
