   I have a function that displays the current posts tags in a dropdown that opens the category page onselect. However, I thought the code would also work for tags, but for some reason it does not. Here is the category dropdown code.

   function drop_cats()
   {
       echo "<select onChange=\"document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;\">";
       echo "<option>Categories</option>\n";
       foreach (get_the_category() as $cat)
       {
           echo "<option value=\"";
           echo get_category_link($cat->cat_ID);
           echo "\">".$cat->cat_name."</option>\n";
       }
       echo "</select>";
   }

   Here is my attempt at the tags one, but no go.

   function drop_tags()
   {
       echo "<select onChange=\"document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;\">";
       echo "<option>Tags</option>\n";
       foreach (get_the_tags() as $tag)
       {
           echo "<option value=\"";
           echo get_tag_link($tag->tag_ID);
           echo "\">".$cat->cat_name."</option>\n";
       }
       echo "</select>";
   }

   Try:
   

   get_tag_link( $tag->term_id )

   Also might use:
   

   $tags = get_the_tags();
   if ($tags) (
   foreach (tags as $tag)
   {
   //blah blah blah
   }
   }

   Thanks Michael! Here is my final code if anyone else is interested.

   function drop_tags()
   {
       echo "<select onChange=\"document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;\">";
       echo "<option>Tags</option>\n";
       foreach (get_the_tags() as $tag)
       {
           echo "<option value=\"";
           echo get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
           echo "\">".$tag->name."</option>\n";
       }
       echo "</select>";
   }
