the problem is that the button tag is not being accepted because one of your previous tags is still open, you need to close it so that it accepts new tags. have a look at the preview, that should give you some idea as to whats still open

I believe inside of your button tag you need to add the "type". So it would look something like this:

<button type="button">Submit Comment</button>
