Michael, The $optionall argument(parameter) is for whether or not one wants to display a link to all categories (makes sense in a dropdown list for example). The $all argument defines the text to be displayed for the link (default being "All"). So technically, if I had, for example, $optionall = 1 and $all ="Everything" I would have the text "Everything" in the list of categories which would be all the categories. Executive summary: $all is the text to be displayed for the "show all categories" option, which in turn is enabled by $optionall =1. Addendum: The code for using $optionall and $all was removed in Dec 2004 and so this is a broken feature/bug - Matt should know why it was removed, and what the plans are. http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1072 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/23488 P.S. : Mike, if you ever need to lookup functions/variables, I recommend Cena Mayo(one of the earliest doc team members)'s wpxrf at http://www.cenamayo.com/wpxref > Also, if someone has a comment or suggestion regarding the Dropdown without > Submit Button section in dropdown_cats article I'd appreciate it.
