You forgot to close your textarea tag. That's why it's failing.

As Kevin said, you forgot to close your textarea.

<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>

button element needs to be modified to:

<button type="submit"> Submit Comment </button>

No, it doesn't. It says in the title, don't add any attributes yet.
