Just a note - these functions must be written in pure javascript, without jquery or anything else, because these functions run before any javascript files are loaded. We need these to dynamically update display of some parts before the pages load completely. Since it is pure js - the cross browser support must be considered.

I want add a new functionality to askbot using the comment section, then, I need change the default comment form for one like new_answer form but the new form will continue store the content as a comment. What is the best way to do this?

Well, I got this one, but I didn't get the one from the comment in my answer here. Also, yesterday the same, under an answer of mine, there were comments, and only by chance I happen to realize it. Who knows, maybe now its working again..

I see in file /skins/default/templates/question.html, there is this line

askbot['functions']['renderAddCommentButton'] = render_add_comment_button;

and lower in the same file there is the definition of render_add_comment_button. Is that you re looking for?
