Reliable way to style comment preview "comments" form output

I’m curious, is there any way to reliably add a class to the actual output of the “comments” form? (I don’t mean comment_form, I mean the txp template form named “comments”)

Reason being, if_comments_preview evaluates to true for every comment thru the comments output cycle, so every comment ends up getting the class or id applied. The only really reliable method I’ve found so far is to test if $thiscomment['dicussid']=='0', which only seems to occur for the previewed comment.

Any other tips?

Sure.

<txp:if_comments>

	<ol id="comments">
		<txp:comments class="" wraptag="" break="" /><txp:comments_preview form="comment_preview" />
	</ol>

</txp:if_comments>

So what you’re saying is that the last comment (the “previewed” comment, which doesn’t have a discussid) isn’t a TRUE case for if_comments? Brilliant!
