# Create a simple Dropdown (specific category)

 * I want to create a dropdown menu where my readers can easily choose posts by 
   Brands, reviews etc.
 * I used this one, but i dont’ want all categories to show up. Only the childs 
   of Brands (in this case the category are named “varumarken”).
 * 🙂 I’m glad if someone can help me!
 *     ```
       <li id="categories"><h2><?php _e('Sök via Varumärke'); ?></h2>
       	<?php wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=Select category'); ?>
   
       <script type="text/javascript"><!--
           var dropdown = document.getElementById("cat");
           function onCatChange() {
       		if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value > 0 ) {
       			location.href = "<?php echo get_option('home');
       ?>/?cat="+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;
       		}
           }
           dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
       --></script>
       </li>
       ```
