# Cancel Comment button doesn't work

 * NOTE: my wp version is actually 3.0.2
 * For a theme I’m building:
 * I have threaded comments enabled. When I test it live I go to comments section.
   Add some test comments. Then test the comment REPLY button, which reloads the
   page with the comment box as the focus and the CANCEL REPLY button showing. But
   when I try to click the cancel reply button, it doesn’t work, and it will only
   scroll the page back to the comment form.
 * So, first, should the page even be reloading when I click reply?
    Second, why
   would the cancel button not work?

 * Are you enqueing the comment javascript correctly in header.php – just before
   <?php wp_head(); ?>`?
 * `<?php if(is_singular()) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );?>`
 * Does your theme use any javascript? If so,have you tried removing it?

 * Genius Esmi! I used
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
       wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
       wp_head();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * THANKS A TON!
