Hi there,

I am trying to add a comment functionality to my PHP webapp that includes a reply possibility on each comment. Like on digg for example. I am new to AJAX, but would like to take this oportunity and to jump into cold water with that task now.

I am asking this question here in the PHP forum, as I was thinking to do a for loop to include a form underneath each comment, but now it sounds rediculous to me. There must be a smarter way to do this.

My goal is to use JQuery to show and hide a dialog box which contains the form to reply on the comments. Basicaly I managed to do this, but now I have a general understanding problem. Let's say there are 100 comments there and I want to have reply possiblity for each of them. Do I have to integrate the same code underneath each one? I would rather like to have a box in that is used for everyone of them. I believe this is somehow done with divs, but I do not know how.

Here is my code:
<html>
  <head>
<script src="/app_global/jquery-1.2.1.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#slickbox').hide();
  $('a#reply').click(function() {
        $('#slickbox').toggle('slow');
        return false;
  });

});
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
<a href="#" id="reply">Reply</a>
<div id="slickbox"><p>Space for reply box</div>
<p>
next comment
  </body>
  </html>

I would like to place a complex reply form into the id=slickbox, but here is where the problems starts. If I do this for all 100 comments the code will be way to much to load. Even if it is easy to do with PHP. There must be a smarter way to achieve this.

Thank you for any help on this. I am pretty much stuck here.

Best regards,

Merlin
