The problem actually comes from the previous step. The textarea tag actually should have an opening and closing tag.

<form action="index.html" method="post">
      <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
      <button>Submit Comment</button>
</form>

Thanks, I actually caught that moments after I foolishly wasted everyone's time on this post! :-/

Looks like you left of "type" from the button element. <button type = "submit">Submit comment</button>
