   Hi,

   I've found some code that's working to make a dropdown jump menu for the monthly archives, but can't seem to get it to work for categories. Here's what I'm using:

   <?php
   
   echo "<select name='archive-dropdown3' onChange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
   <option value=''>";
   echo attribute_escape(__('Browse by Month'));
   echo "</option>";
   wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=option&show_post_count=1');
   echo "</select>";
   
   ?>

   I've tried wp_list_categories, and the_category, but can't get either to work with the above code. Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   Thanks esmi--I tried that, but it just gives me a static dropdown. I'm trying to make it a jump menu.

   Also, how do I give it a title that appears in the bar, like the code above does with "Browse by Month"?

   Thanks!
