# Plugin for previewing comments before posting?

 * A couple of my readers have emailed me asking me to correct mistakes in their
   comments—normally HTML errors, but sometimes just simple typos. Is there a plugin
   that allows comments to be previewed first before being posted?
 * I’ve seen this question asked a few times before in the archives but I couldn’t
   find an answer. I would have thought it was a fairly frequently requested feature.
 * Iam using WP 1.5, BTW.

 * Thanks, Kafkaesqui. For some reason my search didn’t pick up on that thread.
 * Live Preview wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but I think it might well do.
   The trouble is that although there are reports of it working fine in WP 1.5 all
   the instructions linked to are for WP 1.2, and I am not at all clear how I would
   enable this for WP 1.5.

 * `<?php commentScript(); ?>` goes in header.php, in the `<head>` section.
 * `onkeyup="ReloadTextDiv()` goes in comments.php, inside the definition of your
   comment textarea. That line begins `<textarea name="comment"`, if that helps.
 * `<?php comments_Div() ?>` goes in comments.php just below the `</p>` following
   the comment textarea.
 * There’s a couple other things you can do with this plugin, but I’ve not tried
   them and you don’t need them to enable comment preview.

 * Just in case this goes missed, a slight improvement to Live Comment Preview:

 * Yeah, the second one (mine) will just drop in and start working, but not as customizeable.(
   Mostly, you can’t place the preview div anywhere you want)
