Button Madness

Hey so I thought I was adding the button the right way here. I seem to be getting an error...

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

  </body>
</html>

Hey there Carl,

yes, you added the button the right way, good job! The only problem is that you didn't close your opening textarea tag with a ">". If you close it, you should pass the task.

Like so:

     <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>

I hope that helps, good luck! :)
