You're close, but:

  • the input should not be enclosed in a "textarea"
  • the input tag needs to be closed with a ">" symbol
  • the attribute "name" should not be in quotes
  • the attribute should be separated from the previous value with a space
<textarea><input type="email" id="email""name"="user_email"</textarea> <!-- original -->
<input type="email" id="email" name="user_email">                      <!-- corrected -->

Also, the challenge let it slip by, but I think the labels are intended to be placed before the inputs that they go with.
