Do you want one chat room per instance (but you get to choose the chat room)

If it's the former, I'd set up a SessionVar with the current chat room. The
CometActor would access that SessionVar during initialization and choose the
chat room
Try this:
def create(xhtml: Group): NodeSeq = {
def redo(b: Blog)(n: NodeSeq): NodeSeq = table(b.toForm(Full(Create),
redo(b), handleSubmit _))
User.currentUser.map(_.createBlog) match {
case Full(b) = redo(b)(xhtml)
case _ = S.warning(There's no user logged in); NodeSeq.Empty

CometActor instance for each different name. Thus, you can have 5
CometActors for 5 different chat rooms as long as they have a unique name.

id in the xhtml template)
Is it as simple as calling
