On index.php, change the functionality of your update button's click event so that:
when the user clicks on update button it "changes comment text to a textbox with the same value". This requires you to write a javascript to first hide your <div id="comment_1">the first comment</div> and then dynamically write <input type="text" name="comment" value="the first comment"></input> after the hidden div. We need to hide the <div> to have a way to restore the original content if the user cancels the process.
-
another two buttons appear on the same row AFTER the newly converted textbox field. The first one says "save" and the second one says "cancel".
