I've seen a number of blogs provide a selection of buttons used to markup text in their comments. I'm trying to do that on my blog, but am having some difficulty.
I tried integrating the comments form found on the Rin theme into my Blix theme, but I can't even get the thing to show up. I was told that it was based on the script at Alex King's site (http://www.alexking.org/index.php?content=software/javascript/content.php)
. From the looks of that site, it requires a lot more knowledge than I have because I can find no instructions at all...just a bunch of code.
Anyone here know how to make this code work? My test blog is http://familywebwatch.com/blog_test/2005/04/18/latest-id-theft-scam-could-be-in-your-inbox/
Thanks for any help!

Comment Quicktags. May be useful to use / study ?
Thanks podz! I'll give it a whirl.
Okay, I'm making progress. The buttons are showing and functioning.
I've reviewed the plugin code and saw where the buttons are, but I can't find where the "Dict." and "Close Tags" buttons are programmed.
Where are those coming from and what does "Close Tags" do exactly? I figured it would close the tags, but evidently that's not what it's about because it didn't do that.
Okay, I tried the "close tags" in IE and saw that it indeed closed the tags (frustrating that FF doesn't do it).
So now my other question remains: where are those buttons coming from if not in the plugin code? I'm thinking about removing the "close tags" button, but can't do that until the code is found.
[of course, this means that it's probably staring me right in the face :P, but perhaps a fresh pair of eyes and wisdom could help ]
"where are those buttons coming from if not in the plugin code?"
wp-admin/quicktags.js
Oh I see now. It's locating that file. Thanks for helping me connect the dots, Kaf! :)

How does one change the width of the tags showing up on the comments form? The tags appear when I aply the quicktags plugin, but in two columns and quite wide!
tgriff, it tells you that inside the plugin file, read it :)
How do i get the buttons on my comments popup?
