Put

• wp_zoc_show_subcats_select($cat) to display a drop down menu

of the subcategories of category $cat.

$cat is the number id of the parent category, that you can find on Manage >> Categories on the WP control panel

You can insert the code anywhere in your template and you can use it several times to display subcategories of different categories.

Graceful degradation

The drop down menu would require your user to have javascript to work but, if your visitor doesn’t have Javascript Enabled the plugin will gracefully degrade and display a list instead.
