jquery local scroll issues

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>

                    </form>
                </div>

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
