Hey Alex,

you almost got it right but your code has a few flaws: Firstly you didn't close your button element properly because you used two opening tags instead of an opening and a closing tag. The other thing you should fix is that you have to close both your form and your textarea element.

It should look like this then:

    <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 hope that helps! :)
