   Thanks Chris, now if only the browser would support my CSS drop cap when we highlight text.

   Hey Jim!
   This Plugin looks really great and the documentation is well done, too. But there is one missing point, in my view: I tried to build your Script in my site and it worked well besides one thing: it doesn’t jump to the formular. So my only question is what is the name of the id or class the script is jumping to?
   Greatings, .wired

   Hi there,

   I’m not sure I completely understand your question on the jumping – but I think you mean that the comment controls are not popping up next to the individual comment. Is this correct? If so make sure you take a look at the styles in the base.css file that is included in the project. I should add this step to the documentation. I just realized I forgot to add a step about the ID you need to add to your comment form as well.

   In the HTML for your comment form ensure that the text area has the id of ‘comment’. Most themese have this by default, at least in wordpress:

   <textarea name=”comment” id=”comment”></textarea>

   Let me know id you still have trouble getting this working! I will update the documentation shortly as that is obviously a critical step!

   Hey Jim!
   Thank you for your answer and sorry that it’s so hard to understand me, I think it’s because of my terrible english
   Hmm, I don’t know how to describe my problem in an other way than I already did, so I can just ask you to visit my site. For example, look at this post: http://www.wireds.de/2009/01/blogparaden-und-gewinnspielauswertung
   If you try to answer, the form becomes filled out correctly, but it’s not scrolling there (I integrated the scrolldown javascript file in the footer). And as I see at the moment, there are still problems with the comments to answer, the comment form gets just a
   

   and that’s all (I followed your instructions to get the comments working so there are all the classes entry-content etc. integrated).
   Sorry for this long comment and support question
   Greatings, .wired

   Alright both issues have been added to the documentation:

   Incorporating base.css

   Hi Jim,

   Thanks for your comment on our podcast episode featuring your plugin, I just have one slight alteration to the documentation to suggest:

   On this page, under the heading ‘Designate Comment Authors’, the class ‘comment-author-name’ is quoted as simply ‘comment-author’ in the first paragraph. Having used this class instead, the page threw up a javascript error and some strange behavior, but was easy to track down.

   On the whole, great work

   Thanks! Yes I fixed this just now based on your tip. My apologies.

    Hey JJ – I am implementing this in the CVB’s blog. So I had to make this work in IE also.

    Just change each this.text to jQuery(this).text().

    Great work by the way!

    Rock on! Thanks Brandon! I’ll push those changes into it very soon. I have a live preview option, extended comment box option, and a separation of the quote from the comment box (no html in the comment box) almost done so I’ll put this fix in with that update over the weekend.

    @Jim JeffersHey JJ – Just FYI on the new developments, I noticed that the preview hung around if you didn’t submit. Just closed out the preview modal. It was an easy fix of course. I just emptied out the #comment value and the preview html.
