I have the attached code for a comments box. How do I get the it so that when the comment is submitted it will be displayed on a page for all the comments .

Sorry, here is the code.

Please see the FAQ entry How do I use forms?

I have tried this but still nothing happens when I press submit. The page just becomes the page where the comments are supposed to go but it remains blank. What am I missing do I need to put some coding in the comments page to read and show the text from the comments box page?

As it says in the FAQ you need a script on the server that makes the magic happen. That's what the action attribute it for, it should point to that script.

If you dig through script repositories like for instance http://hotscripts.com you can find ready-made scripts for almost any purpose.
