Many thanks, numeeja — The second looks great in FF but the screen goes blank for about a half second in IE8 before rendering. The first didn’t work for either browser.

Sadly, I haven’t even started testing IE7; this is IE8.

Thanks, numeeja — that’s exactly what’s happening. Is there a simple way to adjust for that?

AHHHH!!! Thank you! That worked!

I tried Sidebar Generator, which worked fine with one sidebar defined and selected, but more than one kicked out 2 or 3 different images per page.

Next up was is_page() conditional (which was my preference), but I’m still feeling around for syntax. Can anyone tell me why this isn’t working (this is what I have in my sidebar and I’m getting “unexpected $end” on the page)? Code as follows:

<img src=”https://0055ae0.netsolhost.com/wordpressLR/wp-content/themes/LR/images/&lt;?php
if (is_page( ‘about’ )) {
print ‘checkbook.jpg” />’;
}elseif (is_page( ‘resources’ )) {
print ‘resources.jpg” />’;
}else {
print ‘checkbook.jpg” />’;
?>

Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

Thanks so much, Funkphenomenon — boy did I get it wrong. Changed all to floats (except the first div, which is position: relative) and works fine in both FF and IE8.

Additionally, this resolved the Flash of Unstyled Content I was getting on all the pages.

Many thanks to you both for your on-the-quick response — The is_page() conditional is exactly what I was looking for (thanks especially, esmi, for your links here and for your countless answers elsewhere) as I’d hoped to eliminate the custom page I’d already had to make. Posting an interim thank you because as I was trying to work with this, I broke my site but good. (Validated backup templates notwithstanding.) (Float: left in one of the divs renders the page blank in IE8. Oh, IE.)

Since then, I’ve been at it for about 10 hours and counting attempting to get back to the perfect layout I had (in both FF and IE8), but will come back and post what did work once I’ve 1) fixed it the layout and 2) figured out how to place the image src code within the conditional php code.

You ROCK. Thank you so much for this code.
