Categories and Sub-Categories

Hi all

I'm looking for a bit of advice on how to do something that appears to be simple, but I haven't e clue how to start... or where to look.

It's basically how to have a sub-category assigned to a category. ie, on a shop you select DVDs from a dropdown list (or a hover-over), and then "Action, Adventure, Comedy"... etc are shown.

I'd need this to be shown on a menu, plus on a "Add product" listing for registered traders.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

I'm sorry but what are you talking about? You're really going to need to provide more information than this.

Visit http://www.boots.com.
you select a category you wish to look at, and then the subcategories within that appear.

For example: you select FRAGRANCES, and then you are given "For Men", "For Women", "Unisex".

So when a customer creates a product, it would be good to give the customer the option to add their category or sub category and this would have to go into a DB.

But just for now, how do I allow it so when someone selects a category from a dropdown (which is from the DB), then then shows that designated sub category from another category.
