I found interesting code that works fine to post into steem

<html>
<head><title>steem-js posting example</title></head>
<body>
<script src="https://cdn.steemjs.com/lib/latest/steem.min.js"></script>
Post Function

<script language="JavaScript">
function postArticle()
{
  steem.broadcast.comment(
    document.getElementById('postingKey').value, // posting wif
    '', // author, leave blank for new post
    'steemtest', // first tag
    document.getElementById('username').value, // username
    'name-of-my-test-article-post', // permlink
    document.getElementById('title').value, // Title
    document.getElementById('article').value, // Body of post
    // json metadata (additional tags, app name, etc)
    { tags: ['secondtag'], app: 'steemjs-test!' },
    function (err, result) {
      if (err)
        alert('Failure! ' + err);
      else
        alert('Success!');
    }
  );
}
</script>
Username: <input id="username" type="text"><br/>
Posting key: <input id="postingKey" type="password" size="65"><br/>
Title of article: <input id="title" type="text"><br/>
Article text:<br/>
<textarea id="article"></textarea><br/>
<input id="postIt" type="button" value="Post it!" onClick=postArticle()>

</body>
</html>

And now I am trying to change that code to make comments for this post. As far as I know but I might be wrong it should something like this:

<html>
<head><title>steem-js posting example</title></head>
<body>
<script src="https://cdn.steemjs.com/lib/latest/steem.min.js"></script>
Post Function

<script language="JavaScript">
function postArticle()
{
  steem.broadcast.comment(
    document.getElementById('postingKey').value, // posting wif
    document.getElementById('username').value, // author, leave blank for new post
    'steemtest', // first tag
    document.getElementById('username').value, // username
    'name-of-my-test-article-post', // permlink
    '',  // Title
    document.getElementById('article').value, // Body of post
    // json metadata (additional tags, app name, etc)
    { tags: ['secondtag'], app: 'steemjs-test!' },
    function (err, result) {
      if (err)
        alert('Failure! ' + err);
      else
        alert('Success!');
    }
  );
}
</script>

As far as I did notice you comment posts almost same way as you do create a post. Just remove the title and add the author. But in this case, for some reason, I am getting errors

"RPCError Unknown Key"

Since the author can comment own post I should work with same values. Can anyone know how to fix that problem?

Hi, I've checked your code two arguments are swapped, if you switch permlink with first tag everything works fine.

Working example:

<html>
<head><title>steem-js posting example</title></head>
<body>
<script src="https://cdn.steemjs.com/lib/latest/steem.min.js"></script>
Post Function

<script language="JavaScript">
    function postArticle()
    {
        steem.broadcast.comment(
            document.getElementById('postingKey').value, // posting wif
            document.getElementById('username').value, // author, leave blank for new post
            'name-of-my-test-article-post', // permlink
            document.getElementById('username').value, // username
            'steemtest', // first tag
            '',  // Title
            document.getElementById('article').value, // Body of post
            // json metadata (additional tags, app name, etc)
            { tags: ['secondtag'], app: 'steemjs-test!' },
            function (err, result) {
                if (err)
                    alert('Failure! ' + err);
                else
                    alert('Success!');
            }
        );
    }
</script>
