Your View should be like bellow

    <?php
    $postId = 1; //Your post id
    echo CHtml::Button('SUBMIT', array('onclick' => 'getComments(this);', 'data-value' => $postId, 'value' => 'Get Comments'));
    ?>

And Write your Ajax call some thing like

    <script type="text/javascript">
        function getComments(obj)
        {
            $PostID = $(obj).data('value');
            $.get('Controller/YourMethod', {id:$PostID}, function(dataJSON)
            {
                  //Get data in JSON formate
            },'JSON');
        }
    </script>

EDIT

If you want to add Ajax call directly to your button, you can do as

    <?php
    $postId = 1;
    echo CHtml::Button('SUBMIT', array('value' => 'Get Comments','onclick' => ''
        . '$.get("Controller/YourMethod", {id:'.$postId.'}, function(dataJSON)
            {
                  //Do what ever you want here
            },"JSON");'));
    ?>
