I have done this exercise 4 times and every time when I get to question #4 it won't let me type - it will let me preview

I have tried to close my browser and re-open, clicking on check work (I of course get bummer because I can't do anything). I have re-booted my computer. Not sure what else I can do.

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <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">
      <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
      <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
    </form>

I just went through the challenge and was able to complete all four challenges. I can only suggest that you email Treehouse Support to let them know about the problem you are having. https://teamtreehouse.com/support

In the mean time, If you've done it four times, I'm assuming you know the answer for #4 that it will not let you complete. Here is the completed code that (hopefully) will let you click check work and move past the challenge.

<!DOCTYPE html>

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

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <fieldset>
        <legend>Tell us about yourself</legend>
        <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>
      <fieldset>
        <legend>What's on your mind?</legend>
        <label for="comment">Comment:</label>
        <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment"></textarea>
        <button type="submit">Submit Comment</button>
      </fieldset>
    </form>

I hope your problem get solved! Keep coding! :)

Thank you. I put it away for a couple hours and went on. Now it is doing it with another one. Maybe it is a sign :-)

I sent a message to support. They had me try a different browser (I was using Safari). I tried Firefox and still have the same problem, however I did find that if I went to the top of the code I could select and use my arrow keys to get where I needed to go. It is a lot slower but works.

I was originally using Firefox, and found some of the videos slow and jerky. I downloaded Chrome and it seems to work much better.

Give Chrome a go and see if it's any better... I found a significant difference.
