I've added two new features/examples to my Example Application and they can be found on right side of every page.

One is a Ajax based Commenting system and another is an Ajax based Rating system. They are both very simple to implement. Even though the ones I built are tied to Application and Page ID's the table structure can easily be adjusted to apply them to any situation.

A nice additions to these features would be to only allow for one rating per user per page and to automatically populate the comment authors name. This would require me to create a login which is just overkill for my example application but for anyone implementing these solutions it is defiantly features worth adding.

The code can be found on these two pages.

The commenting system is open so please use a little restraint in using it, I don't want to have to be spending to much time administrating comments at the same time commenting on my samples would help me and everybody else.
