I was working on my site and all was working fine with compojoom. Next thing I know, the 'submit comment' button isn't working. When I click on 'submit comment', the comment doesn't submit.

I am using Mozilla and I have Web Developer. I get an error in the right hand corner of my page when I try to submit the comment.

It says:

JavaScript Error: $("twebsite") is null

What does this mean? HELP PLEASE

Ok, I figured out what was causing this but I still need a solution to my problem. Under content settings, under the 'posting' tab, I disabled the 'input website field', because I do not want to allow users to enter their website. Seems when I did this, users, including myself, could not submit a comment anymore. Any reason why?

I would like to disable the opportunity for users to add their website in the comment box but I would still like the 'submit comment' button to work. I also have it set up where only registered users can post. Not sure if that has anything to do with this problem.

Can anyone help?

Hey Eric,
So have you disabled mootools on your website or are you using another framework there such as jquery?

No mootools, no jquery.

But I am using JFusion.

that is why you get the error. Change the dollar sign $ to document.getElementById and it should work.

look at firebug console output:
JavaScript Error: $("twebsite") is null

It will also tell you what line and what file :)

I changed the dollar sign in that line to what you told me to change it to. The dollar sign was in that line 3 times so I edited ithe $ sign 3 times.

The new file looks like this:

if(document.getElementById('twebsite').value == '' || document.getElementById('twebsite').value == 'enter your site URL...' ) {
document.getElementById('twebsite').value = '';

Still having the same problem. When I have enter url disabled, the submit comment is not working. Firebug tells me the error is on the same line that I made the edits to

No, I meant to your page (to the post on your website where the problem occurs)
