###page["bla_blah#{blogentry.id}"]
This did the trick for me. Thanks a lot for that tip Fred.
Here is what I did finally to get it to work:
The code for the Comments Link:
<%= link_to_remote pluralize(blogentry.comments.size, 'Comment'), :url
=> { :action => 'show_comments', :entry => blogentry}%>
and then in my rjs:
entry = params[:entry]
page["Comment_box_#{entry}"].toggle
Thanks everyone for the help.
Cheers,
vishy
