Many of our portlets have the ability for users to leave comments and replies such as Wiki, Page Comments, Blogs, Journal Content, etc. When users hit the Reply button, a simple text box appears. This new feature will add a sliding effect when users hit the Reply button. The simple text box will slide into view instead of just appearing.

ok, let do it.

we need modify the portal-web/docroot/html/taglib/ui/discussion/page.jsp

Firstly, modify the show/hide form function

Before adding the slide feature the code is like this:

document.getElementById(rowId).style.display = "";

document.getElementById(rowId).style.display = 'none';

Change it to:

Secondly,we hava to chang the

<tr id="<%= namespace %>postReplyForm<%= i %>" style="display: none;">

to

<div id="<%= namespace %>postReplyForm<%= i %>" style="display: none;">

This will make sure the code works in IE.

Now your reply forms can have the sliding feature.
