[wp-hackers] Trouble With Custom Sidebars

[Cailen McQuattie]

The purpose is to create a test page with its own independent sidebar
that I can put test javascript in.

I'd like to avoid using if statements that will be loaded on every
page of my site, and this is listed in the codex as supported
behaviour but it isn't acting as expected.

I'd like sidebar-custom.php to be loaded on one page of my site, but
whether I use get_sidebar('custom') or an include statement and don't
call get_sidebar() at all, I can't stop sidebar.php from being loaded.
