Comment Drop Down

With a javascript function that works when you click the link:

onclick="ryanshowHide('comText246');ryanshowHide('this');this.blur();return false;">Show 6 Comments &raquo;</a>

Zeldman use to have this (maybe he still does). It is a toggle. Should be able to rip through this blog’s .js to find out if you can use it.

Or you could just ask me. I don’t bite. Also, this seems to be broken since I upgraded to 1.5. Will work on fixing it this weekend.

I should also add this code was originally from Scriptygoddess.

How did you get this to work with 1.5? I can’t seem to figure out how to get this to work.

Ok … I’ve got the show/hide deal working for posts. I tweaked the code to get it to display the “Add Comments” when there are none. Everything links correctly to the comment form. How do you get the comment to show inline with the rest of the post? Right now it redirects me to a separate page with the post form beneath. I’d like the comment form to display below the comments and above the next post.

Any thought are appreciated

any ideas on getting drop down comments to work with 1.5?

If people are still interested in this, I can do a writeup on my site on how I got dropdown comments to work in WP 1.5. That is, if the style of comments you are referring to is the type I have at my site, masuga.com. Or, you know, you could “rip through this blog’s .js” to figure it out.

Maybe its just me, but I have a fast connection and fast computer and when I went to that site, the scrolling was choppy. Its almost like its processing too much or is constantly processing info from the site. Could it be that script? If not, just thought I’d let you know…

That might have to do with my sidebar, rather than any comments that might be loaded (but hiding) on the page. Did you start scrolling before the sidebar loaded? It’s a bit heavy. I’m pulling links from my db, reading a textfile for my itunes status, pulling info from amazon through librarything to show what I’m reading, grabbing some flickr pics through a flickr badge, and grabbing ad content from chitika. My sidebar is sort of dependent on a few other sites and can sometimes be a real bear to load.

Thanks for pointing that out, though.
