Menus: Dropdown vs Pulldown explained

I was looking for some reference to clarify this issue on the web, and what do I see in the first couple hits on google? Bad information on the topic. It seems that a lot of sites say there is no difference between dropdown and pulldown menus. Guess what? THEY'RE WRONG!

Here's the difference:

Dropdown menu: When you click on the menu header to access the menu, the menu stays on the screen until a selection is made. Note that clicking outside the box also counts as a "selection".

Pulldown menu: You have to hold the mouse button down to access the menu. If you release the mouse button or drag off the menu, the menu goes away. In other words a PULLdown menu is a DRAGdown menu, but it is not a DROPdown menu!

A subtle difference I'm sure, but it's quite a big one in regards to UI workflow. Also note that a dropdown takes two mouse clicks. One to access the menu, and one to access the menu item. A pulldown (dragdown) only takes one click, but you must hold down the button as with a mouse drag operation.

Now is it clear? I hope so.

The Smallest Graphic Design Place in Waukegan

This is it, my freelancing is the smallest graphic design place in Waukegan. I haven't seen a mention of this site in regards to my hometown, so may as well make it be known. (Although I try to do most stuff over the net, but still I think there may be location specific stuff available.)

Some people may claim to be small, but me? I don't even have a large format printer yet, and I'm a one man show. The real problem is letting people know that there's good talent in their own backyard. And short of doing print jobs (which would still have to go outside), I can do some pretty cool things design-wise. If you want 3D visualizations or animations, Illustrations, and Logos, it will be harder to find better bang for the buck.

So if you've managed to stumble on this, fire off a comment. Or give a hint at your email. Or if that's too much work, here's a hint of mine: pop alpha uniform luck jump snake 7 5 (at) hotmail.
