jquery local scroll issues - php

Question

I have a social network that has custom made comments section for users. Users are also able to reply to comments. Each comment has a 'reply' button that when pressed, uses jquery to make a new text box structure appear.
It is a bit lengthy in syntax and logic so I am a bit lost on what the problem may be ( it is not functioning at all. I have also run out of trouble shoot methods.
Here is the code for the comments and replies:
<div id="x_comment_box">
<form name="x_comment_form" method="post" action="Project-X.php">
<textarea name="comment_body" class="round_10px defaulted">Leave a comment about "Name of Video"...</textarea>
<input type="submit" name="x_submit" value="Submit" class="post"/>
</form>
</div>
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM `x_comments` WHERE `status` = 'active' ORDER BY `date` DESC, `time` DESC LIMIT 10";
$request = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(mysql_error());
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($request)) {
$webcast_poster = new User($result['userID']);
$body = $result['commentBody'];
$date = $result['date'];
$time = $result['time'];
$comment_id = $result['id'];
?>
<div class="comment_structure_future_webcast_x clearfix">
<a name="comment_<?php echo $result['id']; ?>"></a>
<div class='comment_polaroid_future'>

Here is the jquery:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#Comments').localScroll({ offset:{top:-40,left:0} });
$("a.reply_link").click( function() {
$("#"+$(this).attr('name')).fadeIn('slow');
});
$(".respond_nevermind a").click( function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var reply_box = document.getElementById($(this).attr('href'));
$(reply_box).css('display','none');
var reply_textarea = document.getElementById($(this).attr('href')+"_textarea");
$(reply_textarea).val('');
});
});
</script>
thanks in advance
