Create a form element with an action attribute set to "index.html" and the method attribute set to "post".

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>HTML Forms</title> </head> <body> <form action="index.html" method="post">

<input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">

<textarea id="comment" id="comment" name="user_comment">

<button>Submit Comment</button>

  </form>

</body> </html>

There is no opening form tag in your code. Can you edit it ?

Otherwise you have to create it with the action attribute set to index.html and the method attribute set to post. You are not supposed to provide the inputs for this question.
