Create a label for the email field with the text "Email:".

I cannot seem to get it correct. What is wrong in my code?

Thanks.

Labels generally are placed above the element that they're a label for. Your labels for name and email are not in the right spots.

If you place the labels directly after what is being labelled for each then you pass

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
      <label for="name">Name:</label>
      <input type="email" id="email" name="user_email">
      <label for="email">Email:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
      <label for="comment">comment:</label>
      <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
    </form>

Labels shouldn't go after.
