Empty blocks

Permalink
Hi! I've learnt to use the code
<?php
$a = new Area('Sidebar');        
if ($a->getTotalBlocksInArea($c) > 0) { ?>
   <div id="sidebar">
   <?php $a->display($c); ?>
   </div>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php $a->display($c); ?>
<?php } ?>

That prints out the sidebar DIVs only if there is a blocks in this area.

Now I would wan't the sidebar to show up depending on if there's blocks in the Main-area, so instead of 
if ($a->getTotalBlocksInArea($c) > 0) { ?>

I use
if ($a->getTotalBlocksInArea('Main') > 0) { ?>


but I won't get it to work. Any ideas???

$c = new Page::getByPath('/yourpagepath');
$blocks = $c->getBlocks("Main");
