Default Getting subcategories for a specific main category?

Any help on this would be appreciated....

I'm trying to present 2 drop downs on our home page:

1. A drop down to show all main categories

No probs. Got this working with some help from this forum. Code looks like this:

Code:
<select name="site" size=1 class="inputfield"> <option value="">Go to.... {section name=cat_num loop=$categories} <option value="home.php?cat={$categories[cat_num].categoryid}">{$categories[cat_num].category} {/section} </select>

..and it renders like this:

2. Sub-categories within only one specific main category

This is where it gets tricky. I have one main category called 'By Design'. Within this category are many sub-cats. i.e.:

..By Design
...................Anya
...................Bibi
...................Cari

...and what i'd like to do is to generate a drop down (as per #1 above), but to only get the subcats within the main 'By Design' category.

Anyone got any pointers?

Cheers,
