When a drop-down list is not selected, the values are hidden and the display shows a single item on the list.

Drop-down menus are beneficial when a need to provide numerous selections within a confined area arise. Common uses for these are typically found in forms and other sign-up pages labeled as a surname, state, preference, gender, etc. There are way more applications to drop-down lists, and these are just a few ways they are used.
