jQuery version was extremely old, and was probably stuck at that as a way
of enabling the frivilous use of entwine on the front end for somewhat
trivial ajax submisions. A mild refactor has taken place to leverage newer
jQuery features, and remove outdated dependencies.
Also accompanying this commit are alterations to the markup to make it
more semantically correct (probably not entirely though), and help with
testing the JS functionality of reply forms (when enabled).
Currently this is a link. Users will expect this link to take them to another part of the page or another page altogether.
There is no indication that it opens or closes an associated form on the same page, nor does it indicate the current state of the “reply to” form.
So, instead of a link, use a button. Add to that button an aria-controls attribute that references the id of the associated form’s container, and an aria-expanded attribute that indicates (true or false) the state of the associated form.
