Great job :thumbsup: There are some weird thing going on though. Take a look at this:

  • You misspelled "fieldset". Instead, you typed "fieldseat".
  • You need to put the fieldset tag in the form element.

To fix all of this, try this code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <fieldset>
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="user_email">
      </fieldset>

      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>

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

  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps! :dizzy:
