Hey. It still won't let me create my button

it just asks me to create a button and between the button tags add "Submit Button" don't add any attributes. So this is what i did first: <button>"Submit Button"</button> after that I tried it without the quotes and it would not work either. It always tells me to add the button tags within the form element. I even did that as well. I added the code for the button in the line where i have the code for the form. no change. still gives me the same error. Anyone any ideas?

Hi Daniel,

Did you put the button code inside the form tags like this?

<form>
<button>Submit Button</button>
</form>

Hi Daniel,

If you've added the button after the textarea and it's telling you that you still need to add it then it's likely you didn't close off your textarea.

Make sure that you've closed off your textarea with </textarea> and you add your button element after that.

Also, the text for the button was supposed to be "Submit Comment"

<button>Submit Comment</button>

Thanks I had the same problem as Daniel and just fixed it by closing the text area.

I closed the textarea with a textarea closing tag. And I tried it with quotes in the last line and without. Nothing worked. Still says that its wrong
