    Hi there,

    I am trying to create a custom page whereby I can create a loop that just brings in category 10. I am doing this with the code below:

    <?php query_posts('cat=7'); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
//do stuff here
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
?php endif; ?>

    Inside this loop (do stuff here) I want a query that will get all the sub catefories of category 10 and display each of them in a seperate div, then I can style them. I actually want to pull a custom field once I have queried them so that I can display them something like this page:

    http://www.ribbweb.org/ict/?cat=19

    I am just not sure of the code to go in the do stuff here part. Any ideas anyone. Much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I could use the child_of=n where n is the category ID however as this is on the wp-list_categories function it will just display the page title as a list and therefore I cannot being in other information.

    I suppose in plain English this is what I want to do.

    Query all sub categories of category 10 and while it has sub categories show them.

    For each sub categories wrap them in a div with a class called subcats

    For each sub category inside subcats display the category description and category title.
