pull-down menu

Expandable selection interface

A pull-down menu is a list of options in a computer interface that appears when you click on a heading, dropping down like a window shade.

The menu remains hidden until activated, then displays choices vertically beneath the trigger: Select your country from the pull-down menu.

Also called a drop-down menu.
