Hi there,

If you want to edit the comment form, you need to alter the WordPress function to do so. The comment field is generated in "comments.php" and located on lines 26-30...

$comments_args = array(
	'comment_notes_after' => '', // remove "Text or HTML to be displayed after the set of comment fields"
	'comment_field' => '<p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>' // redefine your own textarea (the comment body)
);
comment_form($comments_args);

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher
