jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/FRQ9b/

Using reddit's json results. Here is an example post I created with 3 repliested (nested).

Here is a jsfiddle that with how far I've gotten: http://jsfiddle.net/FRQ9b/

Could anyone tell me how to get the nested replies below that? So stuck. Thanks!

okay, i managed to create a quick demo for you. you can take a look at the [jsfiddle code here.][1] [1]: http://jsfiddle.net/nickadeemus2002/qzNad/

i have it working with some basic loops based on the json data structure. this is just for demo purposes as you'll have to refactor some of the code. however, i have it working so you can see how access the data.
