I AM stuck on creating a button, help if you can. Thanks in Advance :)

After the textarea, create a button element. Between the button tags, write the text "Submit Comment". Don't add any attributes yet.

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

  </body>
</html>
