I had the same issue. Make sure you have the closing tag for the <textarea> tag.

This worked for me:

<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>

I did have the closing tag along with the opening tag. I checked my spelling and grammar numerous times and it still didn't work. But for some reason copying and pasting your code worked and it went through as the correct answer, so I am greatly appreciative for your help with that problem. It was driving me insane!!!
