Dropdown Menu
A dropdown menu is a graphical user interface element that reveals a list of options when a user clicks or hovers over a control, such as a button or title. It saves space on a screen and provides a quick way to select from a set of choices without navigating to a new page. Examples include navigation bars, form fields for selecting a country, and settings menus.
Key features
Appearance: A list of options appears below a control, like a button or title, when interacted with.
Function: Users click on an option to select it, which can then perform an action, navigate to a page, or update a setting.
Space-saving: By only showing the options when needed, dropdown menus help keep interfaces clean and less cluttered.
Examples: Common uses include website navigation menus, selecting a state or country from a list in a form, and choosing a language.
