Eric, well at the end you have to make a simple css change, but the problem is that due to the design of the comments - there is no odd class. And this is what the javascript is adding.
Open the custom.js file and change the first lines
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
if($('tname').value == '' && !$('tname').disabled) {
$('tname').value = 'enter your name...';
}
if($('temail').value == '' && !$('temail').disabled) {
$('temail').value = 'enter your e-mail address...';
}
if(document.getElementById('twebsite').value == '') {
document.getElementById('twebsite').value = 'enter your site URL...';
}
comments = $('Comments').getChildren();
for(var i=1; i < comments.length; i++) {
if(i % 2 ) {
commentClass = comments[i].className
comments[i].className = commentClass + ' odd'
}
}
});
to
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
if($('tname') != null) {
if($('tname').value == '' && !$('tname').disabled) {
$('tname').value = 'enter your name...';
}
}
if($('temail') != null) {
if($('temail').value == '' && !$('temail').disabled) {
$('temail').value = 'enter your e-mail address...';
}
}
if($('twebsite') != null) {
if(document.getElementById('twebsite').value == '') {
document.getElementById('twebsite').value = 'enter your site URL...';
}
}
var comments = $('Comments').getChildren();
for(var i=1; i < comments.length; i++) {
if(i % 2 ) {
commentClass = comments[i].className
comments[i].className = commentClass + ' odd'
}
}
});
now the comments will get an odd css class that you can style with a different background. And btw - the image for your comment background is not loading right now on your site.
