What Dan Oswalt said it's wrong. A part of it it's wrong.

the for attribute is equal to the Input ID attrtibute. So your input id is name. The correct way is this:

 <label for="name">Name:</label>

Now you should put the label element before the input element. like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

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

  </body>
</html>

Your code is messed up here:

<label>for=">Name:</label>

This should be written

<label for="Name:"></label>

Bummer! You need to set the 'for' attribute to "name".
