JS question: comment submit hook?

[rutt]

Suppose I want to write a function which gets called each time SubmitComment succeeds. One way to do this, probably not so great is to rewrite SubmitCommnet and add the code myself. I'm not exactly if I can make this work, if I can get the redefine to happen in the right place, but even if I could it wouldn't be the best because SubmitComment might change and my version wouldn't.

Is there a better way to do this? If not, is it reasonable to ask for some sort of actual hook?

Bump for Rutt's very interesting journey on to new terrains in case of JS in smugmug. If this works out we'll have a least a temporary workaround until smugmug launches some kind of comment control panel like I envisioned here (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=21629). :D
If we had this already, he would have already known that I left him an answear to his comment over here (http://rainforest1155.smugmug.com/gallery/1241790/1/59221753/Large). :wink

Rutt,

Here's something that should get you started....


if (oComment = document.getElementById("addAlbumComment"))
{
oInputs = oComment.getElementsByTagName("input");
addEvent(oInputs[1], "click", commentHandler);
}

function commentHandler()
{
alert('called');
}

Cheers,

David
