[Rails] UNCLE!!!

I would imagine that you have some sort of relationship setup, right?
Something like:

class BlogEntry
    has_many :comments
end

Which would allow a controller (we'll call the view comments/<blog
entry #>) to do something like:

class BlogController
    def comments
        @entry = BlogEntry.find(1)
    end
end

With a view like:

<% @entry.comments.each { |comment| %>
...
<% end %>

If you're not doing your relationships like that, you could also
reference it using:

find_by_post_id(#);

Assuming the table that contains your comments users the column
"post_id" as the associative key.

Cheers,

Ben
