"You need to add a <button> element inside the <form> element."

I can't seem to figure out whats wrong with my code.

i have both the opening and closing <form> tags aswell as the <button> tags but I am being told "You need to add a <button> element inside the <form> element."

index.html 
<!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" name="user_comment"><textarea>
               <button type="submit">Submit comment</button>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>
