Question

I am using Facebook comment box plugin:

<fb:comments href="${myPageUrl}" num_posts="20" width="630"></fb:comments>

Every thing is working fine. The problem is that I want to store the comment posted into my database. Is there any way to fetch the text posted on the comment box.

I am using the following js to catch comment-create event.

FB.Event.subscribe('comment.create', function(response) {        
        alert(response.commentID)
});

I’m getting some commentId from this but I don’t know how to fetch the exact comment posted on a particular comment-create event.

Coomie: Actually whenever a comment is posted, I catch the event thru ‘comment.create’. I was able to catch the event but I was wondering how to get the comment(text) posted at that particular event. Like event.text or event.comment but there was no direct method found

So, now I am manipulating it with fql. Which is somewhat similar to you example. First retrieving the whole list and then selecting the top one.
My sample code is below:

FB.Event.subscribe('comment.create', function(response) {
      FB.api({
        method: 'fql.query',
        query: "SELECT post_fbid, fromid, object_id, text, time from comment WHERE  object_id in (select comments_fbid from link_stat where url ='${PageUrl}') order by time desc limit 1"
      },
      function(response) {
        var feed = response[0];          
        alert(feed.text)
      });
});  

So this method is giving me exactly the same result I want.
