How do drop-down menus work?
A drop-down menu is a list of options that is revealed only when a user interacts with the menu, either by clicking it or hovering over it with their cursor. The menu options then descend vertically and disappear again once the user disengages from the menu.
Why are drop-down menus useful?
The use case for drop-down menus
Offering drop-down menus can help users avoid scrolling and can quickly get them access to your site's content. For large websites, drop-down menus can save users time by allowing them to jump down a level or two to get to the content they seek.
Why do you think it is essential to include a navigation bar and dropdowns on your website?
It allows them to quickly and easily find the information they're looking for, like a blog post or product page. It can also help them find important information that they didn't know they needed, like a pricing plan, an email signup page, or contact information.
When should you not use a dropdown?
In General, Avoid Drop-Downs When There Are More Than 10 or Fewer Than 5 Options. Drop-downs quickly become difficult for users when they are presented with an overwhelming number of options to choose from. Take, for instance, a commonly included input in checkout forms, the “Country Selection” drop-down.
