When forms are processed the values are sent using the "name" attribute as the variable name and the content as the value. In this case your comments tag does not have a "name" attribute.

Also, it's bad practice to start a tag in one level and end it in an entirely differant level (form tag). The better you form your document the less the end browser has to guess about your intentions and the more consistent ad faster the output is displayed to the end user. In this case it won't make a big difference, but it's a good practice to get into. I'd suggest moving the form tag outside the table (as well as the end form tag) so that the entire table that it is currently embedded in is actually surrounded by the form tags.
