Hey Angus,

You are really close. There are a just a couple of things missing.

  • The closing tag for the textarea is missing. *Note: you do not (and actually cannot) have one for the <input> tag, so don't put one there. For more info, you can have a look at the MDN Docs. But the <textarea> does need one.
  • You are missing what the challenge wants you to put between the <button> tags... "Submit Comment". The challenges are very picky, so you have to be careful and often pay very close attention to the instructions. Even a missing period will often throw the "Bummer!"

Other than that, all's good! :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
