I am a relatively new web-designer at a company that creates websites that provide students with information and statistics about colleges. I have become more and more interested in UX design, and I love to discuss ideas/projects/problems/solutions.

Drop down menu best practice question Indeed, that is good to keep in mind. Sometimes it's hard to get out of "designer" mode. |

Drop down menu best practice question Yeah, your second paragraph is the approach we decided to go with. Thanks for the suggestion in your last paragraph, that is quite a good idea. |

Drop down menu best practice question Yes, that is the type of dropdown I'm talking about. Essentially, I was wondering whether it's better to have a table where the dropdown width doesn't encroach on adjacent columns, with a dropdown that truncates its contents when selected (In your example it would look like "Heating, Ventilation and air..."), OR a dropdown that takes up as much horizontal space as needed and encroaches on it's neighboring columns. In the end we decided to go with the former option. |

Drop down menu best practice question Thanks for sharing this, I discussed it with some of my teammates and dev and we won't be implementing it unfortunately, but I'm definitely going to give it a try other projects |
