To enable inline editing for comments, add the following to the section of every page that has a comment form, this code from the remember me module must also be present.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
function edit_comment() {
    var now = new Date();
var comment_count = <MTEntryCommentCount> + 1;
    var comment_id = '<MTEntryID>-' + comment_count;
    fixDate(now);
    now.setTime(now.getTime() + 5 * 60 * 1000);
       setCookie('comment-' + comment_id, comment_id, now, '/', '', '');
}
//-->
</script>

Next replace your post button with the following

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
function edit_comment() {
    var now = new Date();
var comment_count = <MTEntryCommentCount> + 1;
    var comment_id = '<MTEntryID>-' + comment_count;
    fixDate(now);
    now.setTime(now.getTime() + 5 * 60 * 1000);
       setCookie('comment-' + comment_id, comment_id, now, '/', '', '');
}
//-->
</script>
<input style="font-weight: bold;" type="submit" name="post"
    tabindex="6" value="&nbsp;Post&nbsp;" id="post"  onclick="edit_comment(); return true;" />

Next wherever you list the comments, add the following after your starting tag

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
function edit_comment() {
    var now = new Date();
var comment_count = <MTEntryCommentCount> + 1;
    var comment_id = '<MTEntryID>-' + comment_count;
    fixDate(now);
    now.setTime(now.getTime() + 5 * 60 * 1000);
       setCookie('comment-' + comment_id, comment_id, now, '/', '', '');
}
//-->
</script>
<input style="font-weight: bold;" type="submit" name="post"
    tabindex="6" value="&nbsp;Post&nbsp;" id="post"  onclick="edit_comment(); return true;" />
<div id="comment-<MTCommentID>">

amd close it prior to your end tag. Finally wherever you want the link to start editing the comment to appear, add the tag . You'll also need this code to be present on for MTInlineCommentEditLink to work -- it normally is!

In a future version I may consider a patch for MTCommentFields.
