Do you have your back-end implemented? If so, what technology are you using? Just return a plain HTML portion or use PHP? Also, how do you construct the display of all 10 posts?

The back-end is the server side where you communicate in Ajax. In plain words, you are sending a request which may contain parameter values to the server. Then the server construct contents consists of HTML/XML data that a browser can read and send back to you.

In your case, to add a comment display dynamically, you need to create a PHP page which display an expecting content from the server. In this case, you are displaying only 1 post. So if you actually create a post partial in PHP, you could reuse it over and over again.

To remove, you could simply use JavaScript to remove the element from the page after you get the response content back from Ajax. You could look at how to use Ajax at http://www.tizag.com/ajaxTutorial/ or http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp. :) For PHP part, you may ask the PHP forum about how to construct such a page for it. Though, some people may answer on this forum as well because they are closely related.
