Problems accessing document element.

[Iona]

I'm relatively new to writing userscripts (I've never had any education on using javascript either) and I've run into a problem I just can't find a solution to so I was hoping you guys could help.

I'm trying to update http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/137137 this script to work as it should on firefox.

what it's supposed to do is grab the comment box (id="body") from inside the comment form (id="qrform") and insert text into it on button presses. Now it works fine on the reply pages http://simpleruser.dreamwidth.org/422.html?replyto=422 (ids are different there but it's not the reason as I have both options and it works on chrome) but it doesn't work on the quick reply forms on these pages http://simpleruser.dreamwidth.org/422.html

I believe this is because getElementById doesn't pick up hidden elements? 

If you need more or clearer information please ask.

Examples:

working on chrome -

you may have to be logged into a dreamwidth account to not be redirected to the repyto page in the first place. Registration only takes a minute but perhaps won't be necessary to answer my question?

Hello, 

the comment box (id="body") is generated jquery. The treatment (for example) - see attached patch.
