its saying "create an button element inside the form element" and I did but pops up 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 id="name" name="user_name" type="text"
           </input>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"
                </textarea>
      <button text="Submit Comment">

Both the input and textarea start tags are incomplete. The tags should end with a ">" character.

Also, an input element is defined entirely by the start tag, it has no end tag. So there's no such thing as "</input>".

And for the button, it looks like you created a "text" property but the instructions say to put the text "between the tags".
