   My objective is ultimately this:
   If this is a page then show sub-nav, if not show the normal widgets.

   Here's my script so far, I realise I need to add an else in there somewhere but my attempts have failed probably due to my lack of coding experience:

   <?php
       // This creates a sub navigation containing the child pages.
       if ( is_page() ) { ?>
   
   <?php
   if($post->post_parent)
   $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0'); else
   $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
   if ($children) { ?>
   
   <div class="childnav">
   <h2>
   <?php
   $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
   echo $parent_title;
   ?>
   </h2>
   
   <ul>
   <?php echo $children; ?>
   </ul>
   </div>
   
   <?php } } ?>
   /*an else needs to replace the line above but doing so breaks the code*/
   <ul>
   
   <?php
   	/* When we call the dynamic_sidebar() function, it'll spit out
   	 * the widgets for that widget area. If it instead returns false,
   	 * then the sidebar simply doesn't exist, so we'll hard-code in
   	 * some default sidebar stuff just in case.
   	 */
   	if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'primary-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
   
   			<li>
   				<?php get_search_form(); ?>
   			</li>
   
   			<li>
   				<h3><?php _e( 'Archives', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>
   				<ul>
   					<?php wp_get_archives( 'type=monthly' ); ?>
   				</ul>
   			</li>
   
   			<li>
   				<h3><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>
   				<ul>
   					<?php wp_register(); ?>
   					<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
   					<?php wp_meta(); ?>
   				</ul>
   			</li>
   
   		<?php endif; // end primary widget area ?>
   			</ul>

   Dan, this is what your after I think? I've added some extra comments, but not sure what you want to put in the else block.

   Hope it helps

   <?php
   // This creates a sub navigation containing the child pages.
   if ( is_page() ) { ?>

   <?php
   if($post->post_parent)
   $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0'); else
   $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
   if ($children) { ?>

   <div class="childnav">
   <h2>
   <?php
   $parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
   echo $parent_title;
   ?>
   </h2>

   <?php echo $children; ?>

   </div>

   <?php } // end if $children
   } else {
   // not page
   } ?>

   <?php
   /* When we call the dynamic_sidebar() function, it'll spit out
   * the widgets for that widget area. If it instead returns false,
   * then the sidebar simply doesn't exist, so we'll hard-code in
   * some default sidebar stuff just in case.
   */
   if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'primary-widget-area' ) ) : ?>

   • <?php get_search_form(); ?>
   • <h3><?php _e( 'Archives', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>
     <?php wp_get_archives( 'type=monthly' ); ?>
   • <h3><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>
     <?php wp_register(); ?>
     • <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

     <?php wp_meta(); ?>

   <?php endif; // end primary widget area ?>

   Thank you @freshsauce though WP seemed to ignore the if statement so I ended up using this:
   

   <?php
       // This only displays the primary widgets if it is NOT a page //
       if ( ! is_page() ) { ?>

   I put that in front of the usual widget code which has worked!
