HTML HTML Forms Form Basics Create a Submit Button

What is the correct code for challenge 4 on forms? I am so frustrated I have tried 5 times unsuccessfully.

so frustrating when the facilitator presents one code sequence, and the challenge asks for something completely different.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <form action="index.html" method="post"> 
     <h1> Sign Up </h1>
     <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
    <textarea id="comment" id="comment" name="user_comment">
      <button> Submit Comment </button>
      </form>
  </body>
</html>

You must close the textarea tag.
