Code doesnt work

<fieldset> <legend>What's on your mind?<legend>

       <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
  <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>

       </fieldset>

The code should work

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

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
     <fieldset>

       <legend>Tell us about yourself.</legend>
      <label for="name">Name:</label>
      <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
      <label for="email">Email:</label>
      <input type="email" id="email" name="user_email">
      </fieldset>

       <fieldset>
         <legend>What's on your mind?<legend>

           <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>

           </fieldset>

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

  </body>

Hi, Kenneth!

Looks like you just forgot to close the legend tag with a "/", like this:

<legend>What's on your mind?</legend>
