The Code

1. The document ready function adds and removes the text ‘Leave your message here…’ from textarea. when you click in the box.
2. Then we have the input .click function. The first section of the code checks that the user has added a comment and if not displays an error prompt telling them to add a message
3. We then perform the Ajax bit by posting the data to submitComment.php, we show the thank you message and slide in the users comment at the top.

var loaderImage = new Image();
loaderImage.src = 'images/loader.gif';

$(document).ready(function(){
	var messageArea = $('textarea#message');
	messageArea.val('Leave your message here...').css('color', '#666666');
	messageArea.click(function (){
		$(this).val('').css('color', '#000000');
		$(this).unbind('click').click(function(){
			return false;
		});
	});

	$('input#submit-comment').click(function(){
		// Store vars
		var message = messageArea.hide().val();
		// Validation
		if(message.length < 1 || message == "Leave your message here..."){
			messageArea.fadeOut('slow', function(){
				var errorMessage = 'Oops! You haven’t typed anything. Please have another go...';
				var error = $('<div id="too-short"><span class="error">' + errorMessage + '</span></div>').insertBefore($(this));
				error.hide().fadeIn('slow', function(){
					setTimeout(function(){
						error.hide();
						messageArea.fadeIn('slow');
					}, 2000);
				});
			});
			return false;
		}

		var dataString = 'message='+ message;

		// Show loader
		var loader = $('<div id="loader"><img class="load-gif" src="' + loaderImage.src + '" /></div>').insertBefore($(this));

		//alert (dataString);
		$.ajax({
			type: "POST",
			url: "submitComment.php",
			data: dataString,
			success: function(data) {
				$('div#loader').find('img.load-gif').remove();
				$('div#loader').append('<span class="success">Thanks for your comment!</span>');
				$('div#loader').hide().fadeIn('slow');
				$('span.limit').remove();
				$('div#comments').prepend(data);
				$('div#comments div.comment-unapproved:nth-child(1)').hide().slideDown('slow');
				$('input#submit-comment').unbind('click').click(function(){
					return false;
				});
			}
		});
		return false;
	});
	messageArea.keyup(function(){
		var limit = 140;
		var currentLength = $(this).val().length;
		var charsLeft = limit - currentLength;
		$('span.limit').html(charsLeft);
		if(currentLength >= limit){
			$(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, limit));
			$('span.limit').html('0');
			var textarea = document.getElementById('message');
			textarea.scrollTop = textarea.scrollHeight + 9999;
		}
