3,624 PointsBummer! You need to add a <button> element inside the <form> element.

16,814 PointsI initially wanted to create a button that would submit the form. What they are looking for is just the button, though. Here's what I got to make it pass:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML Forms</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.html" method="post">
<input id="name" name="user_name" type="text">
<textarea id="comment" name="user_comment">
</textarea>
<!--Submit Button-->
<button>Submit Comment</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The button code was:
<button>Submit Comment</button>

9,329 PointsThat's exactly what I've been doing and it still tells me I haven't added a button yet. Just the the plane button tags with the submit comment in between and it still doesn't work?!

<body>
<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>
</body>

16,113 PointsI experienced a similar problem, but I don't know if it was due to the same reason. My issue was that I was adding a closing tag to input. This isn't valid. However, the code challenge will allow you to pass all the way to Question 4, but once there you won't pass until you remove the invalid /input tag. Also, you can check to determine if you forgot to add a closing tag to textarea.

6,521 PointsI had the same problem; my issue was that I hadn't closed the <textarea> with a </textarea>. That let the previous task pass, but ran into issues when I was creating a button (as I was technically trying to put a button inside of the textarea).
