Which Genre ID # is assigned to each movie category?

I was hoping there was going to be some documentation I could find on this. I want my users to able to search by genre type and it is hard to pick out genre types if they aren't listed. For example: genre ID: 1 would relate to Action movies, Genre ID: 2 would relate to Comedy movies. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this out?

FYI, I think you misspelled "genre" above.

I didn't translate. Google did the translation. :-)
And keep translating like this.
pt Gênero = en Gender
But I agree, it must be wrong.
I will correct. Thanks
