0.WHY i do this.
in my work,i need a widget like this,so l learned to write it. 
and i fully tested it in my site,it works fine. 
since i am newbie,so there might be some bug or problem i do not know, 
i appreciate it if you let me know.
1.About the Current Post
if the current post is in the category,the category link will has a “zxd_current_cat” class, 
i certainly can add the css file in this little plugin,but i will not,because it is ugly. 
you can customize it in your theme css file,like
sidebar .zxd_current_cat{
<pre><code> font-weight:bold;
 color:#08c
</code></pre>
}
2.Suggestion
more clean way to use this widget is set it in your theme’s function.php. 
if you want to know how,visit http://html5beta.com/wordpress/wp-ajax-cllapsing-categories/, 
i will explain it there.

This plugin allows you to get better control on how your categories are listed. It provides a widget which lets you get more options than the default WordPress category widget (show RSS, hide empty categories, etc.). Furthermore, it allows to hide the children categories and use clickable buttons to expand them. The plugin requires jQuery to be included in your theme. It degrades nicely when javascript is not available to the usual WordPress category list.

Enhanced Categories

A plugin for wordpress which allows you to list your categories in a sexier way. Very useful when you have a great number of categories.
