   Hi, it's me again ... ;-) Didn't get no reply before, so...
   Here's the situation:
   I have, let's say, 5 categories:"Stores", "Museums", "Garages", "Sports", "Towns", and the last one - "Towns" is hidden (excluded) from cateogries menus.
   I would like to, when I click on "Stores", and I get archive page with posts in that category, on the top of that page is form with checkboxes to select child categories of "Towns".
   So, I would like that I, while on "Stores" archive page,can check one or few boxes with towns, and when clicks "Submit" to display posts that are in - "Stores" AND "New York" AND "Washington" (in other words - stores located in N.Y and Washington).
   Here my code, so far (which doesn't work, off course):
   

   <?php $cat_ID = $cat; ?>
   <form action="<?php query_posts(array('category__and' => array($cat_ID,array($categories->term_id)))); ?>">
   <?php $categories=get_categories('child_of=5&hide_empty=0');
   	foreach($categories as $category) {
   		echo "<input type='checkbox' name='mychecky' value='$category->term_id' />";
   		echo $category->cat_name;
   		echo '<br />';    }
   	?>
   	<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="submit">
   </form>
   
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> ... etc (the loop here ..)

   Any help is really much appretiated ...

   Ok, I have update, so ignore upper code. Just read the "story" ;)
   This code bellow is, I believe on the right track, it just has one flaw - it doesn't work :D.
   Something is wrong with the category__and part, because when my if loop runs query_posts without category__and it's ok. When I select checkbox option, the page goes completely blank ... :( (?)
   Here's code:
   

   <?php $current_cat_ID = $cat; ?>
   
   <form method="post" action="" id="mjesta">
   
   	<?php
   	$categories=get_categories('child_of=104&hide_empty=0');
   	foreach($categories as $category) {
   		echo '<div class="mjesto">';
   		echo "<input type='checkbox' name='place_id[]' value='$category->term_id' />";
   		echo '<span>'.$category->cat_name.'</span>';
   		echo '</div>';
   	}//end foreach
   
   	$place_id=$_POST['place_id'];
   	while (list ($key,$val) = @each ($place_id)) {
   		$v = "$val,";
   		echo $v;
   	}//end while
   	?>
   	<br />
   	<input type="submit" value="<?php echo(__('show','rab')); ?>" id="botun">
   </form>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php
   if(empty($v)) {
   	query_posts('cat='.$current_cat_ID.'&showposts=5&orderby=title&order=ASC');
   }else{
   	query_posts(array('category__and'=>array($current_cat_ID,$v),'posts_per_page'=>2,'orderby'=>title,'order'=>DESC));
   }//end if
    ?>
   
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> ... and so on ...

   Pleeeease, help !
