   I have this code that gets post by tags from a category and i want it to show them in a dropdown menu and not just a very long list.

   can anybody tell me how to do that?

   here is what i want to show in a dropdown menu

   <?php
   $args = array( 'categories' => '1' ); $tags = get_category_tags($args);
   $content .= "<ul>"; foreach ($tags as $tag) { $content .= "<li><a href=\"$tag->tag_link\">$tag->tag_name</a></li>"; } $content .= "</ul>"; echo $content;
   ?>

   There are many tutorials on creating dropdown lists. For example, http://personal-computer-tutor.com/dropdownlist.htm

   Google 'html dropdown list' for more.

   you can use widget to display categories, and check dropdown option.

   NOO a widget will NOT work if you read what i said it gets post by TAG from a category.

   so like if i have a category that is say 'music' and it has tags like bands1, bands2, band3.. the code shows band1 band2 and band3 but not the post inside.

   it shows tags from just category music because i have other categories and only want to show music and not others.

   but what i want is it the code to display in a dropdown list i have tried everything looked at every site and still can not figure it out.

   i thought maybe somebody could show me how to make it show in a dropdown list and not just a long list.....
