In reply to: template changes dramatically between browsersI use firefox with the web developer plugin to see whats going on, you can use it to see what your DIVs id, classes etc are up to, im afraid it a lot of trail end error. It adds some cool tools into you toolbar including validation etc.
I usually take a step back if there are alot of issues and work through one css command at a time to see if any changes make things better or worse, obviously start with the id’s or classes that may apply to the problem, margins and paddings can often through things out and look at your float and display CSS as well. Measure all widths, paddings, margins and make sure they add up and so on..

In reply to: template changes dramatically between browsersyou need to view in multiple browsers on PC and MAC, this sort of thing used to drive me crazy, try making sure your CSS and HTML is valid as well.
To view in other browsers try this: Browser Shots i just go for ie6, 7, 8, firefox and Safari.

In reply to: displaying posts from a single category in sidebar.. sorry i ment more than one category, if its just one its not a problem!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: displaying posts from a single category in sidebarhi, further to this idea i have the problem if the post is in one or more category it displays a list within a list, ideally i just want to show all the catagories the post is in but ONLY the other posts in the catagory it was selected…hope that makes sense!
<?php global $post; $categories = get_the_category();foreach ($categories as $category) : ?> <h2>» <?php echo $category->name; ?></h2> <p><?php _e('Category: ', 'blank'); ?><?php the_category(', ') ?></p> <ul class="rightcol"> <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=20&category='. $category->term_id);foreach($posts as $post) :?> <li><span class="threecolsmall"><?php the_time('j M y') ?></span><br /> <a href='<?php the_permalink() ?>'><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endforeach; ?> <!--<li><strong><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->term_id);?>" title="View all posts filed under <?php echo $category->name; ?>">ARCHIVE FOR '<?php echo $category->name; ?>' CATEGORY »</a></strong></li>--> <?php endforeach; ?> </ul>

In reply to: apply conditional statments to category and any of its childrenalso i want to apply this idea to
is_page
im guessing itll be the same solution?instead of this:
<?php } elseif ( is_page(array ('71', '73', '75', '77', '81', '61','83', '85', '87', '89', '91', '69', '93', '95', '97', '99', '67', '101'))) { ?>
these are all children i would just like to say apply this statement to all children (sub pages) of this page
..hope that makes sense!
