Thank you very much!
I’ve correct a bit your code ($category is an object, $category->term_id is the category ID), and added default, that contains all parameters (i want to see categories with no posts so i’ve set to false hide_empty parameter).

this is my running code ??

$defaults=array('type'=>'post',
'child_of'=> 23,
'orderby'=>'name',
'order'=>'ASC',
'hide_empty'=> false,
'include_last_update_time'=>false,
'hierarchical'=>1,
#'exclude'=> ,
#'include'=> ,
#'number'=> ,
'pad_counts'=>false);

foreach(get_categories($defaults) as $category) : ?>
    <div class="cat_box">
    <h4><? echo $category->name ?></h4>
    <?php $getposts =get_posts('numberposts=5&category='.$category->term_id);

    foreach($getposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

      <? the_title() ?>

    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </div><!-- box -->
<?php endforeach; ?>

Or is this just a typo?

Ops! yes…

And just keep repeating, putting the ID where it says cat=XX&showposts=1.

uhm…
i’ve 12-13 categories and they are dynamic: i prefer not to do manually each box in my template.
i was thinking for a code liche this:
`
<?
for each category witch parent is 23:?>
<div class=”box”>
<?php query_posts(‘cat=’.$category->id.’&showposts=5′); ?>
<h2><? echp($category->title) ?></h2>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else:?>
<?php endif; ?>
‘
i can’t do the first for: for each category witch parent is 23:

Thank you for the reply!
