Suggest A Plugin Plugin that gives dropdown options for categories in sidebar

I am looking to find a good reliable plugin, that I can place in the sidebar that will offer a dropdown menu of certain categories..I have attached an image so you can see what I mean.

Hi Steve
Wordpress has that built in already. When you say certain categories, do you mean to exclude some categories from displaying?
By dragging the widget to your sidebar and selecting, dropdown & hierarchy functions you can achieve that without a plugin.
If you want a plugin that uses jQuery effect, here is one I have tried a few times and I like
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-categories-list/
Very easy to use and self explanatory

Yes, I want to be able to exclude some categories, and not display the entire category library. I'm going to try the plugin now. Thanks for the tip !


**Update** I tried the Plugin suggested but it didn't quite fit the bill.. any other ideas ??

Try this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extended-categories-widget/
You would need to create or edit existing category groups to exclude the categories you do not want displayed. Then add the widget to the sidebar selecting your preferred group and using the dropdown setting.
Let me know how you get on

Samuel - just a quick update - the extended categeories widget was perfect. Thanks for the advice.
