Clicking a link triggers another query this time on the reply table "select * from reply where replyid==$id" check it working on

Also, you should do something about your design, as I get a headache by looking at it.
use more "natural" colors, colors that are not very bright. Also, do not use faded background where you have text.
I would also not use the red font for the header.
Since you are also using php, why use frames?
