Whats wrong with my submit element?

Q: After the textarea, create a button element. Between the button tags, write the text "Submit Comment". Don't add any attributes yet.

Response: Bummer! You need to add a <button> element inside the <form> element.

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

    </form>
  </body>
</html>

It looks like you forgot one of the angle brackets on your <textarea> tag.

You have missed an angle bracket before the closing tag.

<textarea id="comment" name="user_comment" > </textarea> /\ I've put a pointer where you need to put the angle bracket.
