   I am sure this is simple, but I am having trouble.

   My goal is to have the categories in a navigation bar at the top. When the user hovers over the category, I would like for the children categories to appear beneath.

   So far, I have only found solutions to have the categories in a dropdown, not the method I am looking for.

   Any help?

   I just need the PHP snippet.

   Hi bizarrerie,

   You should be able to achieve this using the [wp_list_cats();] template tag and then using CSS.

   Good example of CSS for this would be [http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/].

   Thanks for the reply peter. I have exhausted most of the codex pages trying to answer this question.

   I need the children to be nestled inside the ul of the category lists.

   Something similar to this:
   

   <ul><li>Category
   <ul class="children-cat"><li>Child Category</li>
   <li>Child Category</li>
   <li>Child Category</li></ul>
   </li></ul>

   I know the CSS to hide it, my problem is that I cannot generate this using wp_list_cats. More specific help would be appreciated!
