Enhancement for comment_form(); allow styling the submit button

[Danielx64]

Hi there,

I'm looking at adding a feature where we can define the class for the submit button. I'm happy to create a patch for this if required. The reason for this is because right now we can change say the email field so much but we get little to no concrol over the submit button.

I'm looking at

A: Convert the entire submit button into somehing like how the text areas are done (author and email) then we get full control over the styling and other things related or;

B Add something like class_submit so that we can set the style of the submit button.

Kind regards,

Daniel Fenn

Not sure if I make the patch right

No, comment_form.diff​ isn't a correct patch.

Please take a look at ​http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/submitting-a-patch/.

Do you know how I can do this without svn? I do alot of my dev stuff on a server that never reach the internet. This time I used the diff tool that was in centos :'(

There are plenty of possibilities to style the submit button of the comment form. I don't think we need to add a class in order to do that.

Developers can use the (customizable) id attribute, or target the button through a selector like .comment-form [type="submit"], just to name a few.

Feel free to reopen if there's a use case for it beyond what has been discussed so far.
