 * Use the [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags), [wp_dropdown_categories()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_dropdown_categories),
   for categories.
 * Also look at the [wp_get_archives()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_get_archives)
   article for a dropdown example, and this article addresses dropdown also (read
   some of the comments also):

 * Note: with wp_get_archives you would want to use the **type=postbypost** parameter

 * Hi
    I wasn´t thinking of a dropdown box, I was thinking of the horisontal menu
   on top of the page.

 * Then using the technology you use for pages, use wp_list_categories, and wp_get_archives.

 * Not sure if it applies, but look at [Creating_Horizontal_Menus](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Horizontal_Menus)
   and the More Information on Horizontal Menus section of that article.

 * Tansk, I´ll look into this.
    In my case I want to combine both post and pages
   in the top menu. (menu with sub menu) It look like I have to hard code the meader.
   php, right?

 * Yes to header.php if that’s where the nav is displayed.

 * If you don’t want to hard code there is a plugin which can help with this: “[Page Links To](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/)”(
   by Mark Jaquith). Using that you could set up a page, which will appear in your
   navigation menu, but make it direct automatically to your post or category. I
   find it a really helpful plugin; but you may not want to rely on a plugin for
   this.

 * MichaelH, thanks. I´ll will turn the question around, and put it like this. How
   can I only list some of the pages? I am using <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’);?
   > This one lists it all. What do I do to list some of the pages?
 * ..paul, thanks. I´m using WP 2,7, the plug in supports only 2,6.
