Re: css comment box and reply help

Hi,

The way to do this would be to dynamically assign different CSS classes to "primary" comments and those comments that are a response.  For example:

<div class="response_<%= @comment.is_response? %>" id="<%= @comment.id %>">

This would produce code such as:

<div class="response_true">

I presume you are using Rails - how are you relating the comments to identify those that are responses?
