What's wrong with my legends tag?

My second set of legends tag, the comment one, is reported as wrong but it seems right. Can someone point out where I've gone wrong?

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>whats on your mind</legend>
      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
        </fieldset>

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

Hi Gavin, I think the issue is you have declared a third fieldset around the submit button when it is not needed, if you remove that it should work, like so:

 <fieldset>
         <legend>whats on your mind</legend>
      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
        </fieldset>
<button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>

Hope that helps!
