What can I use instead of a drop-down menu?
What to Use Instead: Text Fields and Radio Button Interfaces. If, for a particular input, there are many more than 10 options, but the input doesn't have to be validated, an open text form field will often be simpler than a drop-down, as users don't have to read and understand all options before making a choice.

What is the opposite of a drop-down menu?
The term drop-down menu typically refers to a computer menu which, when clicked, shows a list of selectable options. There are no categorical antonyms for this term.
