[if explicit]
[condition]
$currently = '[loop-field category]';
return 1 if $currently eq "apparel";
return 0;
[/condition]
<TABLE WIDTH="80%"><TR BGCOLOR="blue"><TD ALIGN=CENTER><BR><FONT
COLOR="white"><H2>Apparel</H2></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>
[/if]
This is something I use on my browse1 page to print a fancy header when the
current category is 'apparel'. Hopefully you can mold this [if] for use in
your own circumstances.
