Hi Virginia,

As Erik mentioned, you will need to add the comment between the <button></button> tags. I think the next question will ask you to add the type="submit"

The words submit comment should be in between the button tags. Try this:

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

Let me know if that worked or if you have any other questions. Cheers
