AJAX Commenting - Who takes the challenge?

[photoRush]

I've just started to experiment with pixelpost, and find it very useful. In addition I'm trying to make my own template now (i'll put it here when it's done).

One thing that "annoy" me is how the commenting works. I find it little bit old style that one see another page and get redirected back when one has commented.

My suggestion is to make implement a ajax commenting. It would work with no page update or page redirection, and the new comment would just elegantly appear on the top pushing the other comments downwards.

Ok, this sounds like a dream. However, I don't have so much knowledge of javascript, but I'm trying to read and make a such mod/addon. But it's not easy to use this with the comments php code. And I'm not that good at programming to understand every thing.

So, I just wanted to throw out the idea. So that someone who is bored, have the knowledge and lots of time would be cool enough to make such a function available for pixelpost in the near future I'm not doing so good yet..

If this kind of ajax comment already exists for pixelpost, show me, I'll be so happy!

The Dark Matter Pro template supports AJAX commenting. Although, I believe it took quite a bit of custom code to do so.

You can avoid the redirect text however, by adding this to your comment form:

<input type='hidden' name='withthankyou' value='no' />

I hope that helps!

I have AJAX commenting on my site - I use the JQuery Library - http://jquery.com

Thanks for reply guys! It's interesting.. I will try to look into both the template and jQuery.

Someone should really make a mod/hack/addon for this kind of commenting, I think many will appreaciate it. But we'll wait and see I guess..
