What are some creative ways to design drop-down menus within an email?

The snippet of code I am currently using lacks the ability to format text, and it does not allow content below dropdown items to shift down properly in an email.

<select>
  <option value="first">First-time users of the Vanguard Events app:</option>
  <option value="download">&#8226; Download the Vanguard Events app on your Apple or Android device</option>
  <option value="allow">&#8226; Make sure to enable push notifications from the app.</option>
  <option value="launch">&#8226; Launch the Vanguard Events app and search for Connect Fall 2015 Sales Conference.</option>
  <option value="enter">&#8226; Enter the event code <strong>2015fall</strong> </option>
  <option value="login1">&#8226; To login, locate the left side of your screen.</option>
  <option value="login2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are using a smartphone, tap on the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner to access the login link.</option>
  <option value="login3">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For logging in on a tablet, tap on "Log in for more features" in the upper left corner.</option>
  <option value="enter">&#8226; When logging in, provide your name or email and the Cvent confirmation code, XXXXX.</option>
</select>

Answer №1

Here are a couple of important points to consider:

  1. Avoid using form controls in email HTML as it can cause issues.
  2. Properly styling options can be challenging and may not be fully supported.

To address your specific issue, it might be worth reevaluating your current setup. Some suggestions provided by others include linking to a web application within the email. In addition, you may want to replace your select controls with alternatives like the Chosen or select2 libraries for better functionality.
