This code allows you to change the text within the HTML comment box form. IE, to change 'Comments' to say 'Guestbook', and Guestbook will be your new title hovering above your visitors' comments! You could also use this code to convert the comment box to another language. However, you cannot change the words used in the date of a comment posted, such as '5 minutes ago' currently. If you don't want English dates on your page, you may disable the date in the basic options for the comment box.
Important:
- This code goes ABOVE the main HTML Comment Box code!
- Use this code only if you have some idea what you're doing. You should probably know basic javascript.
- If you have issues, try removing this code from your HTML.
