How to display drop down results

[fectio1]

Hello,
I have been working on this for sometime now.. I have created two drop down list of some child categories. I want the user to be able to select on the the categories in the drop down list and it display all of the post within that category on a page.. I am using Word Press as a platform.

Issues:

1. I have yet to figure out how to get all the post within the selected category to be displayed on a page.

2. Using the current code below, when I add a new child category, it does not display in the drop down like it should. Here is a link with a screen shot

Any help or advice would be great.. Here is my code for the drop downs

Search by State











$categories= get_categories('orderby=id&&title_li&child_of=9');

foreach ($categories as $category) {

$option = '';

$option .= $category->cat_name;

$option .= '';

echo $option;

}

?>

















Search by Year











$categories= get_categories('orderby=id&&title_li&child_of=8');

foreach ($categories as $category) {

$option = '';

$option .= $category->cat_name;

$option .= '';

echo $option;

}

?>
