 * I used wp_dropdown_categories to display a drop down box for categories but when
   I select the categories it shows a ?submit=view on the end of the URL.
 * Does anyone know how I can call the dropdown category without submit=view?

 * Your template must have an `<input>` html tag with a `name="submit"` attribute.
   You are clicking on this input button to generate this url parameter. If you 
   don’t have other code that uses it, you can just delete the `name="submit"`.
