Ajax comments not working

2 Views

I followed a tutorial to ‘ajaxify’ wordpress comments where it does not reload the page: 

jQuery('document').ready(function ($) {
    $('#commentform').each(function () {
        var commentform = $(this); // find the comment form
        commentform.prepend('<div id="comment-status" ></div>'); // add info panel before the form to provide feedback or errors
        var statusdiv = $('#comment-status'); // define the infopanel

        commentform.submit(function () {
            //serialize and store form data in a variable
            var formdata = commentform.serialize();
            //Add a status message
            statusdiv.html('<p>Processing...</p>');
            //Extract action URL from commentform
            var formurl = commentform.attr('action');
            //Post Form with data
            $.ajax({
                type: 'post',
                url: formurl,
                data: formdata,
                error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    statusdiv.html('<p class="ajax-error" >You might have left one of the fields blank, or be posting too quickly or your comment was too short.</p>');
                },
                success: function (data, textStatus) {
                    if (data == "success") statusdiv.html('<p class="ajax-success" >Thanks for your comment. Refresh the page to see it.</p>');
                    else statusdiv.html('<p class="ajax-error" >Please wait a while before posting your next comment</p>');
                    commentform.find('textarea[name=comment]').val('');
                }
            });
            return false;
        });
    });
});

.. it works, but just for the first #commentform it finds. On my homepage, several posts are displayed and each has a #commentform enabled. I tried .each as you can see but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.
