I'm stumped. Maybe someone can help. I'm trying to modify washblog.com to have a dailykos.com style comment rating style. Alas, I can't even figure out how to pass the story and comment ids to my new box. Here's how I'm trying to call my new box: <!-- start comment --> <DIV class="commenthead"> <A NAME="|cid|">|new| <B>|subject|</B></A> </DIV> <DIV class="commentbody"> |comment| <p>|sig|</p> by <b><a href="|rootdir|/user/uid:|uid|">|name|</a></b> on <A CLASS="light" HREF="|rootdir|/comments/|sid|/|cid|#|cid|">|date|</A> <BR><BR> |BOX,jason,|cid|| <!-- |actions| --> </DIV> |replies| <!-- end comment --> I can't figure out how to retrieve the cid value from within the box. Isn't the cid supposed to be passed in? Then I do something like "my $cid = shift;", right? I've tried dozens of different secret handshakes, but can't figure out how to pass any value (whatsoever) into my box. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Jason
