There is a missing '>' at the end of the button type declaration -

Line 11 "Submit Comment">

Surprisingly easy to spot with the Markdown code styling.

Have to close those tags so they don't continue thinking of properties until the next tag.

You need to have the button tag outside the textarea as I see. The button should be child of the form element
