   Hi,

   get_sidebar() works very well when you need to output the sidebar on a page. i'm wondering if there is a way to call the sidebar.php and return the evaluated content as a variable so that it can be used further in the code.

   something along the lines:

   $sidebar = return_sidebar();
   print do_something_with($sidebar);

   many thanks in advance,
   Tench

   actually, good old buffering does the trick

   ob_start(); // Start output buffering.
   	get_sidebar();
   	$sidebar = ob_get_clean();
